White House signals Trump is weighing new strikes on Iran, and other developments in the Middle East

The White House signaled on Friday that President Donald Trump is weighing the possibility of new military strikes against Iran. Speaking to reporters during a Cabinet meeting at the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland, Mr. Trump stated that the U.S. would be "hitting them very hard."

The potential military action comes as the United States presses Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Additionally, Washington is demanding that Iran abide by the terms of a truce agreement that the two sides forged last month.
