US President Donald Trump says the United States will respond with a “very hard” strike against Iran after an attack on US military personnel in Jordan. Speaking to reporters at the White House on Wednesday, Trump said, “So it’s our turn,” adding that Washington would “see if there was an agreement at some point” between the United States and Iran to end their war, but said the US was “going to hit them very hard.”
In the same comments, Trump said he had been briefed on a drone attack involving tankers off Egypt. The report describes the briefing as part of the administration’s information gathering around the recent incidents affecting US interests and regional shipping. The outlets provide the same core account of Trump’s statements, including his comments on timing, the prospect of an agreement with Iran, and the separate tanker-related drone attack. The sources do not provide additional details on the nature of the Jordan attack, the targets or timing of any planned strike, or the specific tankers involved off Egypt.
