U.S. President Donald Trump has signaled an imminent and forceful response against Iran, announcing that the United States plans to launch "strong blows" in the coming hours. This declaration comes as a direct retaliation for Iran's recent ballistic missile launch targeting U.S. military installations in Jordan.

Speaking to reporters from the White House, Trump stated, "They know what's coming. They are asking us not to do it, but you know, they tried to hit us last night. So, it's our turn. We'll see if we end up making a deal sometime. But, we're going to hit them very hard."

The president's announcement suggests a significant escalation in tensions between the two nations. The U.S. military facilities in Jordan were reportedly targeted by Iran, prompting Trump's vow of a severe retaliatory strike. The context provided indicates that Iran's actions were perceived as an attempt to harm U.S. interests, thereby triggering the planned U.S. response.

Trump also mentioned being briefed on a drone attack targeting oil tankers in Egypt. While the details surrounding this incident and its connection to the broader conflict remain unclear from the provided text, it adds another layer to the volatile regional situation. The president's remarks underscore a readiness to employ significant military force in response to perceived aggression.
