US President Donald Trump has threatened Iran with a tough response after an overnight missile attack on US forces stationed in Jordan. In a conversation with Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst, Trump, using obscene language, promised to “tear Iran apart.”
“We will blow them to hell. We will strike them with powerful blows. There will be nothing left of them,” said the US President.
According to Trump, the Iranian attack took the US military by surprise, they had only a few minutes to react and intercept the Iranian missiles.
At the same time, Trump said that negotiations with Iran will continue for now.
Trey Yingst reported that Trump called his meeting with Netanyahu “excellent” the day before. “Now he understands,” the US president said, likely hinting at resolving differences between Washington and Jerusalem regarding further actions against Iran.
