U.S. Launches 'Powerful' Strikes on Iran After Trump Vows to 'Hit Hard' over Attacks

Breitbart · back to the audit

The U.S. military launched a new round of strikes against Iran Wednesday evening after President Donald Trump vowed to hit the Islamic Republic "very hard" in response to Iran's attempted ballistic missile attack on U.S. forces in Jordan the previous day. "We're going to beat the f****** s*** out of them," Trump told Fox News on Wednesday morning. "We'll be hitting them hard. They're going to get a beating." "We're going to be hitting them very hard because it's our turn to hit them," Trump told reporters. "They know it's coming. They're asking us not to do it. They nevertheless took a shot, so it's our turn." The latest operation marked the first direct U.S. strikes inside Iran since Trump paused the previous campaign Friday after 13 consecutive nights of attacks against Iranian military targets, opening a brief window for diplomatic efforts.
