President Donald Trump issued a strong statement against Iran after the Islamic regime launched a surprise missile strike on US forces in Jordan overnight. Trump told Fox News that the US would ‘beat them hard’ in response to the attack.
Details of the Attack
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) fired ballistic missiles at the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base and the headquarters of the US military’s Central Command in Jordan. The US military successfully intercepted all Iranian missiles, with no immediate reports of casualties or damage.
The US later struck multiple Iran-backed Shiite logistics and weapons sites in eastern Iraq in response to alleged drone attacks on Saudi Arabia. Trump stated that the overnight US-Saudi strikes against Iran-backed Shiite militias in Iraq were coordinated with the Iraqi government.
Despite the flare-up, Trump said that talks with Iran will continue, stating ‘we’re going to let them keep talking.’ The situation remains tense, with the US and its allies on high alert for potential further attacks.
