President Donald Trump said the US would strike back at Iran after a recent attack that targeted a military base in Jordan, as the war in the Middle East flared up once again following a recent pause in hostilities.
“We’ll be hitting them hard,” Trump said in a phone interview, Fox News reported Wednesday, adding that “they’re going to get a beating.”
The comments sent oil surging back above $90 a barrel. A days-long halt to strikes ended Tuesday night after US forces said they were targeted by Iran — in what Trump called a “surprise attack” — while Iran’s state-run IRIB News said the US struck a location in the country’s West Azerbaijan province.
Iranian media said the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targeted a base in Jordan in response to “aggressive US actions,” without giving details.
