Washington, DC, July 29 (ANI): US President Donald Trump on Wednesday vowed a forceful response against Iran, saying the United States would “beat the f**king sh*t out” of the Islamic Republic after it launched a ballistic missile attack targeting US bases in Jordan.
Trump said Washington would retaliate with a major strike.
“We are going to beat the f**king sh*t out of them,” Trump told Fox News while reacting to the Iranian attack.
“We’ll be hitting them hard. They’re going to get a beating,” the president added.
Trump also said US forces successfully intercepted the incoming ballistic missiles launched toward American positions, adding that troops had only minutes to respond.
According to Fox News, Trump said US forces carried out the defensive operation in real time, with personnel calling out missile coordinates to ensure they did not reach their targets.
The president’s remarks came after Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility for targeting a US military base and a US Central Command facility in Jordan.
According to a statement carried by Iranian state broadcaster Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), the IRGC Aerospace Force said it launched “several ballistic missiles” at the US Army air base and Central Command facility in Jordan, describing the attack as a response to what it called aggressive US actions.
“As long as threats against the Islamic Republic of Iran continue and illegal and evil actions by American forces against our interests continue, the resistance will continue,” the IRGC said in a statement carried by IRIB.
The statement also said threats by US officials and what it described as illegal actions against Iranian interests must cease.
Trump also addressed the overnight US-Saudi military strikes against Iran-backed militias in Iraq, saying the operation was coordinated with the Iraqi government.
He described the Iran-backed militias as a “cancer on the world” and did not rule out additional military action against Iran-linked proxy groups in the region.
Earlier, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement that US and Saudi Arabian armed forces jointly carried out precision strikes against Iran-aligned militant sites in Iraq, targeting logistics and weapons facilities.
CENTCOM said the strikes were conducted on July 28 against groups it described as Iran-aligned terrorists that had been directed by the IRGC to target US forces and Saudi energy infrastructure.
“U.S. and Saudi fighter aircraft struck multiple terrorist logistics and weapons sites across eastern Iraq in a strong response to more than 30 IRGC-directed aerial drone attacks over the last 72 hours,” CENTCOM said.
The US military said the recent drone attacks against American forces were unsuccessful.
“The unwarranted attacks against U.S. forces were not successful,” CENTCOM said.
CENTCOM also stated that between February and April 2026, there were more than 600 attempted attacks on US citizens and facilities by Iran-aligned militant groups operating in Iraq.
“The IRGC and its terrorist proxies must cease these attacks to avoid further U.S. military response,” CENTCOM warned. (ANI)
