Trump says US will strike Iran after attacks on personnel in Jordan

President Donald Trump announced that the United States will take action in response to recent Iranian strikes that targeted American personnel stationed in Jordan. The statement, delivered during a press briefing in Washington, came after reports confirmed that Iranian-backed militias had launched a series of rocket and drone attacks on a U.S. military base near the Jordanian capital, resulting in several injuries among service members.

The administration indicated that the forthcoming response will be “proportionate and decisive,” though specific measures were not disclosed. U.S. officials emphasized that the attacks violated international norms and threatened regional stability, underscoring a commitment to protect American forces abroad. The incident adds to escalating tensions between Tehran and Washington, with diplomatic channels remaining open as both sides assess the situation.
