WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump on Wednesday said the US military will be hitting Iran “hard” after a missile attack against US bases in Jordan, Fox News reported.
“We’ll be hitting them hard. They’re going to get a beating,” Fox’s correspondent quoted Trump as saying, adding that the US president used swear words to emphasize his point: “We are going to beat the ‘effing s’ out of them.”
Trump said that US-Saudi bombing of pro-Iranian militias overnight inside Iraq had been coordinated with the authorities in Baghdad.
Trump “says those strikes were coordinated with the Iraqi government,” a Fox correspondent said after speaking with the US leader.
Trump’s reported assertion came as Iraq’s presidency denounced the US-Saudi attacks as a “blatant violation of Iraq’s sovereignty.”
