The US said it had further stepped up strikes on Iran as both sides in the war threatened to escalate a conflict hitting its two-week mark that has upended energy flows and financial markets.

“They’re going to be hit. They can talk all they want but, you know, let’s see what they do,” President Donald Trump told Fox News Radio in an interview that aired Friday. “They’re going to maybe do something having to do with the straits.”

The 14th day of the war marked the largest attacks yet against the Islamic Republic, with the US and Israel hitting around 15,000 targets since the war began, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said.

President Donald Trump and Iran’s new supreme leader both struck defiant tones on the 13th day of the war, offering little relief to energy markets despite fresh US efforts to curb oil prices. 

The US president said in a social media post Thursday that preventing Iran from having nuclear weapons and threatening the Middle East is “of far greater interest and importance to me” than the cost of oil. 

Mojtaba Khamenei said the Islamic Republic would seek to ensure the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed. In his first public comments since succeeding his father, he added that Tehran will look to open other fronts in the war if the US and Israel persist with their attacks.

President Donald Trump said he didn’t believe Iran was laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz and repeated his suggestion that the war would end soon, even as the confirmation of an emergency oil release did little to calm volatile markets.

Asked Wednesday whether Iran had laid mines in the strait, Trump told reporters, “We don’t think so.” The Islamic Republic has laid about a dozen mines in the waterway, Reuters reported Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.
