Trump vows strong response to Iran after attacks on US base in Jordan

In late July 2026, President Trump said the United States would deliver a 'beating' to Iran after missiles struck US bases in Jordan. Jordanian forces intercepted five Iranian missiles, and the US is weighing three military options, following a meeting between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. Trump's remarks came as tensions escalated, with Iran also reportedly considering a retaliatory strike against a Ukrainian port, according to the New York Times.
