WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the United States would respond forcefully to a missile attack targeting American military bases in Jordan, declaring that Iran would face severe retaliation, according to Fox News.
Speaking after the reported attack, Trump vowed a tough military response.
“We’ll be hitting them hard. They’re going to get a beating,” Fox News correspondent quoted Trump as saying.
According to the report, Trump further stressed his position by using strong language, saying:
“We are going to beat the ‘effing s’ out of them.”
The remarks came after a reported missile attack on US military installations in Jordan, further escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran.
No additional operational details about the planned US response were immediately provided, and US officials have not publicly outlined the timing or scope of any potential military action.
The latest comments signal a further hardening of Washington’s stance as regional tensions continue to rise following a series of military exchanges involving US forces and Iran-linked actors.
