  "summary": "U.S. President Donald Trump has vowed to retaliate harshly against Iran following the first exchanges of fire in a month, after Iran launched missiles at two U.S. air bases in Jordan in response to a U.S. attack on Iran's Larak island. Trump told Fox News that \"we're going to hit them hard\" and that there will be a response to the attack. A senior Iranian source told Reuters that the hostilities, the first since late July, were a limited and contained confrontation, but added that Tehran would deliver a harsh response if attacked again. Trump also claimed that U.S. air defenses had shot down all Iranian missiles that could have caused damage and that new U.S. economic sanctions on Iran were having a significant impact.",
