Colonel Douglas Macgregor: Trump Will Strike Iran Again Strike! (Video)

As of April 17, 2026, President Trump has declared that the U.S. is ”ready to strike again” if ongoing peace talks fail, despite expressing optimism that the current conflict is “very close to over”. The situation is currently defined by a fragile two-week ceasefire, with the following key developments. 

Trump has repeatedly threatened to hit Iran “extremely hard”—specifically targeting electric generating plants and infrastructure—if a final deal is not reached. On April 17, Trump declared the Strait of Hormuz ”fully open”. He claims Iran has agreed to never close the vital waterway again, a move that has caused global oil prices to plummet. A second round of direct U.S.-Iran talks is expected to resume this weekend in Islamabad, Pakistan. Pakistan has been acting as a primary mediator between the two nations. The administration is pushing for a “complete and total resolution of hostilities,” including an indefinite halt to Iran’s uranium enrichment and its nuclear program.
