Trump vows retaliation after Iran targets US bases in Jordan
U.S. President Donald Trump vowed a forceful response after Iran fired missiles toward American military facilities in Jordan on July 29, ending a brief lull in hostilities.
“We’ll be hitting them hard. They’re going to get a beating,” Trump told Fox News.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said the missiles targeted U.S. sites in Jordan, including Muwaffaq Salti Air Base. Jordan’s military said it intercepted and destroyed five missiles, with no immediate reports of casualties or damage.
Iranian state television later reported what it described as a U.S. airstrike near Piranshahr, close to the Iraqi border. An official in West Azerbaijan province said a missile hit an uninhabited area and caused no casualties. Washington did not immediately confirm the report.
