Trump promises to hit Iran hard after missile attacks on US forces

United States President Donald Trump has promised to hit Iran "hard" after Tehran launched a wave of missiles at US forces in Jordan and at ships in the Strait of Hormuz. The threat on Wednesday came days after Trump abruptly suspended a 13-day bombing campaign to give talks with Iran "some space", according to a US official. "This is Iran sending a message to Trump that they need to be involved in all discussions," Al Jazeera's Alan Fisher said from Washington, DC. "It was reported in Israel that Netanyahu was very keen to raise the question of Pickaxe Mountain," he said, referring to the secretive underground complex in central Iran located near the Natanz nuclear site. The Iranian attacks targeting US forces came after Trump met at the White House on Tuesday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has pushed for war on Iran.
