Trump Says He Will ‘Hit’ Iran ‘Hard’ After IRGC’s Retaliatory Strikes on US Base in Jordan

Trump said the United States will hit Iran hard after missile and drone attacks on sites housing American personnel in Jordan and the United Arab Emirates.

  • On Monday, President Donald Trump vowed a strong response to Iranian strikes on US bases in Jordan and the United Arab Emirates , declaring, "We're going to hit them hard."
  • Retaliatory strikes followed a United States operation on Sunday targeting Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz, where US Central Command alleged Iranian forces prepared to lay mines.
  • The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed ballistic missiles damaged facilities at Jordan's King Hussein and Al-Azraq bases, while drones targeted helicopters at the UAE's Al Minhad Air Base.
  • Trump reported that US forces intercepted most incoming missiles, allowing one to pass after determining it posed no threat, despite the IRGC's claims of heavy damage.
  • Despite the escalating confrontation, the president indicated openness to potential negotiations with Tehran, though he questioned whether the Iranian government remains a reliable partner for a deal.
