DONALD Trump has ordered a fresh wave of strikes on Iran in a bid to break Tehran’s resolve.
The bombardment could begin as early as this weekend and is expected to last several days, US officials said.

Earlier on Friday, the president told reporters he planned to unleash military strikes to force Tehran back to the negotiating table.
Trump predicted that if the US hit Iran hard enough, the hard-line regime would eventually “peter out”.
“We will be hitting them very hard,” Trump said.
“And you know at some point, they’re going to say, ‘We just can’t take it anymore.'”
These comments are in direct contrast to Trump’s comments earlier this week that “very friendly negotiations” were underway, allowing for a pause in military operations.
Since then, Iran launched a surprise attack on troops in Jordan, triggering a US retaliatory attack on Wednesday.
