Trump vows response to Iran’s retaliatory strikes: ‘We’re going to hit them hard’

Iran said its missile and drone strikes were retaliation for U.S. attacks on launchers it said were preparing to lay sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz.

  • On Monday, Iran launched ballistic missiles and drones at military bases hosting U.S. forces in Jordan and the UAE, calling the strikes retaliation for U.S. actions on Larak Island. Iran's state-run Islamic Republic News Agency claimed the operation "inflicted heavy damage on the targets."
  • U.S. forces struck Iranian rocket launchers on Larak Island Sunday after CENTCOM observed Revolutionary Guard personnel preparing to deploy sea mines into the Strait of Hormuz. CENTCOM described the operation as "limited, precise action" against an imminent threat.
  • Jordan's armed forces intercepted eight missiles over its airspace Monday, while the UAE detected a drone approaching Al Minhad Air Base. Both nations denied their facilities sustained direct hits during the operation.
  • President Donald Trump responded Monday by labeling Iran a "failed nation" and telling Fox News the U.S. would "hit them hard" in retaliation. Trump asserted the regime's leadership must face war crimes trials.
  • The commander of Iran's Khatam Anbia Joint Air Defence Headquarters claimed the country emerged as the "decisive victor" in its battle with the United States, marking the sharpest escalation since the conflict began on February 28.
