# US president Donald Trump has threatened Iran after Tehran’s retaliatory strikes on American military targets in Jordan and the United Arab Emirates, saying “we’re going to hit them hard”. American forces attacked two Iranian rocket launchers on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz. The strike killed three people. Trump has also reiterated his claim that Iran is begging for a deal with the US. Iran’s Foreign Ministry says the retaliatory strikes on bases in Jordan and the UAE were a legitimate defence.
Trump warns that the US will respond to any Iranian strikes on its forces in Jordan
