U.S. President Donald Trump threatened the Islamic Republic with a severe attack after the U.S. military announced the interception of several ballistic missiles fired from Iran toward American forces in the Middle East.
Speaking to Fox News on Wednesday, Trump stated:
“We will absolutely destroy them. We will hit them very hard.”
While the full interview was not broadcast, a Fox News reporter published a summary of his remarks.
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced early Wednesday that Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) forces had fired multiple ballistic missiles from Iranian territory in an attempted surprise attack on U.S. troops stationed in the Middle East, but all the missiles were intercepted and destroyed.
