Trump vows response to Iran’s retaliatory strikes: ‘We’re going to hit them hard’
- Fighting resumed on Sunday after the USA military struck Iran's Larak Island, prompting Iranian missile retaliation against a base hosting USA troops in Jordan. President Donald Trump vowed on Monday to respond, risking prolongation of the seven-month conflict.
- In a social media post, Trump declared Iran a 'Failed Nation,' citing 300% inflation and the lack of a functional Navy or Air Force, claiming the leadership is in total disarray and incapable of representing the country.
- Casualty figures sharply diverge: Trump cited a record 100,000 protester deaths, while Iranian authorities claimed 3,117 deaths, blaming Israel-backed 'rioters.' Earlier, a strike on Minab killed 168 people, mostly children at a girls' school.
- Separately, the USA imposed sanctions on International Criminal Court officials following the court's arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over war crime charges in Gaza.
- Although the Trump administration previously shifted tactics toward economic pressure, the latest skirmish demonstrates that the risk of open fighting remains high, with no agreement in sight to permanently end the war.
