U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday (June 10) that the United States is going to attack Iran "very hard" if no peace deal is finalized, and announced the United States has been taking oil out of Iran.

"We're going to be attacking them, attacking them very hard," Trump told reporters at the White House, citing Iran's downing of an Apache helicopter in the Strait of Hormuz.

The president reiterated that Iran will be hit on Wednesday.

Trump also revealed that the United States has been taking oil out of Iran.

"I'm just announcing today for the first time, but we've been taking out millions of barrels of oil, millions of barrels every night," Trump said, adding that Iran "just figured it out."

"Millions of barrels of oil has come out, and that's why it's at $85-90 a barrel, instead of $250," Trump said, sharing no other details about these operations.

Trump said the United States is still looking to make a deal.

Trump said that Iran has already agreed to not obtaining a nuclear weapon, but the agreement still needs to be signed.
