The president has continually made threats and pronouncements about the war on social media, and this latest post amps up his rhetoric.
He wrote that the U.S.
will be, quote, hitting Iran, adding later in all caps, very hard tonight.
Trump also threatened to attack Karg Island, which is central to Iran's oil exports.
However, Trump told Fox News this morning that the U.S.
and Iran are still in talks.
He added that he doesn't want to have boots on the ground, but that if he wants, he could send in, quote, a small group of soldiers.
President Trump has said many times that an end to the war could come imminently.
Earlier this week, he said an agreement to end the war could be coming within days.

In the post, Trump said he spoke today to officials from Pakistan and a number of Middle Eastern countries about a potential agreement.
He claimed that deal has been, quote, largely negotiated, unquote, but that it is subject to agreement by the U.S., Iran, and those other countries.
He also said the agreement will involve opening the Strait of Hormuz and that final details will be, quote, announced shortly.
However, the administration has multiple times said that the war was nearly over or even entirely over.
The war has now been going on for nearly three months and led to a spike in oil prices.
Amid the lengthening war and high prices, Trump's approval rating in polls has sunk.

Currently, the tax is 18.3 cents per gallon of gas and 24.3 cents on diesel.
The potential suspension is an acknowledgment from the White House of the toll that high gas prices have taken on American consumers.
