US President Donald Trump reiterated his threat to resume strikes against Iran, warning he may have to give Tehran "the hammer" at an unspecified time, according to AFP. Trump reportedly discussed with Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu whether to ramp up combat operations against Iran, while Tehran warned any new war could last longer than the previous one. A tanker was also struck by two projectiles near Saudi Arabia, with all crew accounted for. The Houthi-Saudi Arabia conflict continues to destabilize the region, with both sides exchanging strikes on Sunday and Saudi schools switching to remote learning.
