Donald Trump said renewed U.S. airstrikes against Iran would not last “too long,” after what Reuters described as the largest exchange of fire between Tehran and Washington since July.

Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump said Iran had been trying to build a missile capable of launching mines and that the United States had destroyed it. He also said Iran was working to rebuild radar and missile systems that had come under U.S. attack.

“We removed all the new equipment they tried to build along the Strait of Hormuz, some defensive and some offensive,” Trump said. “It was a very difficult attack, and we are ready to carry out another one whenever we want.”
