Trump Vows 'Beating' for Iran After Jordan Base Attack

President Donald Trump vowed a forceful retaliation against Iran following its attack on US bases in Jordan, signaling a potential escalation in the Middle East conflict. The warning came after a brief lull in hostilities had raised hopes for a return to negotiations, but the renewed fighting sent oil prices surging by five percent due to fears of global supply disruptions.

We'll be hitting them hard. They're going to get a beating. We are going to beat the 'effing s' out of them.

Saudi Arabia and the United States announced joint strikes on militant bases in Iraq, while Israel accused Iran-backed Hezbollah of violating a truce. For two days, Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil exporter, reported drone attacks on crude facilities, blaming Iraqi armed groups allied with Tehran. Iran, in turn, launched missiles at Jordan, with state media later reporting a US strike near its border with Iraq.

"We'll be hitting them hard. They're going to get a beating," Fox News quoted Trump as saying, emphasizing his point with profanity. Hesham Alghannam, a Saudi security analyst, told AFP that Tehran is using its proxy network to maintain leverage while diplomatic efforts proceed. "The proxy war is the continuation of the direct war by other means, and it is being run with considerable strategic coherence," he explained.

Tehran is now using its proxy network to sustain leverage while the diplomatic track absorbs international attention. The proxy war is the continuation of the direct war by other means, and it is being run with considerable strategic coherence.

Iranian state television reported a US strike in its territory, though an official in West Azerbaijan province described it as hitting an uninhabited area without casualties. Jordan's army confirmed intercepting five Iranian missiles. Meanwhile, Israel accused Hezbollah of launching an explosive drone, calling it a "blatant violation of the ceasefire."

A few minutes ago, an area in the Piranshahr border area was attacked by American enemy airstrikes.

The joint US-Saudi air operation in Iraq targeted logistics and weapons sites belonging to an Iran-aligned group, with Trump stating the strikes were "coordinated with the Iraqi government." These actions follow increased US pressure on Iraq to disarm pro-Iran groups. The recent cessation in fighting had been intended to restart stalled peace negotiations.

Overnight, Hezbollah launched an explosive drone toward a military engineering vehicle in the area of Ali al-Taher Ridge within the Security Zone. This is a blatant violation of the ceasefire.
