You know what scum is? They\u2019re scum, they\u2019re sick people, they\u2019re led by sick people, and they\u2019re vicious, violent people,\u201d Trump added.<\/p>\n<p>The comments came a day after the U.S. launched new strikes on Iran and revoked a temporary license that had allowed Tehran to sell oil, in response to what U.S. officials said were Iranian attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n<p>Trump said later Wednesday that the U.S. \u201cwill probably hit them [Iran] hard again tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll give them a little warning \u2014 we will hit them hard again tonight,\u201d Trump said while meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the NATO summit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt may be a big attack,\u201d Trump added.<\/p>\n<p>The president said the U.S. could \u201ctake over\u201d <span><u>Kharg Island<\/u><\/span>, the strategic export terminal for the oil and gas industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s not a thing they can do about it,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n<p>He also suggested that the U.S. could reimpose a naval blockade on Iran, which had been lifted last month as part of the MOU.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=945\">Susan Collins Slams Trump\u2019s Attempted Overhaul of Federal Grants<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Trump said he would still allow U.S. negotiators to keep talking to Iranian officials. But he made clear he had little interest in the talks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs far as I\u2019m concerned, it\u2019s just a waste of time dealing with them,\u201d he added. \u201cNow, I\u2019ll let our wonderful negotiators keep talking if they want, but I don\u2019t see it. I don\u2019t like these people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump also accused Iranian officials of lying about what they had agreed to in private.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re liars. We make a deal.
