Trump vows response to Iran’s retaliatory strikes: ‘We’re going to hit them hard’
Iran said the strikes were retaliation for U.S. attacks on launchers it said were preparing sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump declared Iran a 'failed nation' after the United States struck Iranian rocket launchers on Larak Island, prompting Iranian forces to retaliate against military bases in Jordan and the United Arab Emirates.
- Economic pressure has intensified via new U.S. sanctions and a naval blockade, with the Trump administration citing 300% inflation and a reported death toll of more than 100,000 protesters to justify squeezing Iran financially.
- United States Central Command confirmed it took 'limited, precise action' against IRGC minelaying forces on Larak to protect the Strait of Hormuz, which handles about 20% of global petroleum and liquefied natural gas trade.
- While Iranian military officials claimed the country emerged as the 'decisive victor,' United States air defenses intercepted most missiles, and UAE authorities reported detecting a drone near territorial waters.
- Vowing to 'hit Iran hard' in response, Trump faces a contrasting position from Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, who emphasized the country still seeks a negotiated solution to the ongoing conflict.
