President Donald Trump warned on Wednesday that the US will “beat the fuck out” of Iran after it attacked US forces in Jordan.
US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed on Tuesday that Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces attempted to launch a “surprise attack on US forces based in the Middle East”.
“All Iranian missiles were successfully intercepted. U.S. forces remain on alert and at a high level of readiness,” CENTCOM said.
In response, President Donald Trump told Fox News, “We’re going to beat the crap out of them.”
Trump said Iran was “going to get a beating.”
Earlier this week, President Trump said the US was in “very deep negotiations” with Iran, but warned at the time that the US was prepared to continue “very strong military action” if talks failed. As Breitbart News reported:
The president indicated he had little patience for a lengthy negotiation process, saying any diplomatic breakthrough would have to come quickly.
Asked how much time he was willing to devote to diplomacy before returning to military action, Trump responded: “Not much time. It’s either going to happen quickly or not at all.”
Trump said he agreed to halt the military operation after mediators urged him to give diplomacy another try.
Trump’s comments also come after Iran released an artificial intelligence (AI) video threatening First Lady Melania Trump and the president’s youngest son, Barron Trump:
According to WION, it featured photos of a motorcycle and the First Lady outside designer stores including Bergdorf Goodman and Saks Fifth Avenue, with the slogan “Where to kill Melania?” Video titled.
The video says, “Shopping trips could be ‘suitable for global freedom fighters’ operations.” It also suggested that any clothing purchased by the First Lady would be poisoned with nerve agents. Post Read the article.
“This is just the beginning. Barron Trump, wait for us,” Barron is seen threatening in the clip.
CENTCOM also confirmed that it has launched an airstrike campaign with Saudi Arabian armed forces against Iranian proxies in Iraq.
