Trump vows strong response against Iran after attack on US forces in Jordan
Former US President Donald Trump threatened a forceful military response against Iran following an overnight attack on American troops in Jordan.
Former US President Donald Trump has vowed a strong military response against Iran in the aftermath of an overnight attack on American troops stationed in Jordan. Speaking to Fox News, Trump declared, "We will hit them hard."
Jordanian authorities confirmed they had intercepted eight missiles that entered its airspace, with US air defenses successfully neutralizing all but one of the Iranian projectiles. The remaining missile, according to Trump, posed no significant threat.
Trump also commented on Iran's potential for diplomatic talks, but expressed skepticism about Tehran's reliability in reaching an agreement while US sanctions continue to be in effect. In Jordan, military sources reported the destruction of the eight intercepted missiles before they could endanger civilians or property.
These events unfolded concurrently with a US military strike on Iran's Larak Island.
