Trump Threatens Heavy Strikes on Iran Amid Escalating Tensions
US President Donald Trump announced plans to order heavy strikes on Iran in response to its surprise attack on US forces overnight, Bloomberg reported. 'We'll be hitting them hard,' said Trump, adding that Iran would 'get a beating.'
The Iranian media stated that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targeted a base in Jordan in retaliation for what it called 'aggressive US actions.'
The US and Saudi Arabia had previously struck Iran-backed militants in Iraq after Riyadh intercepted drones launched by Iraqi groups targeting its oil facilities.
