Donald Trump said the United States would respond forcefully after an attack involving American troops in Jordan, sharply raising tensions between واشنگton and Tehran. The statement followed reports of a missile strike aimed at U.S. military sites in the country.
According to Iranian state-linked reporting, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it targeted a U.S. air base and a central command location in Jordan with ballistic missiles. The strike was described by Iran as a response to what it called aggressive U.S. actions.
The U.S. side said it intercepted the surprise attack targeting its forces. Based on the available details, Washington confirmed the attempted strike but the trimmed report did not provide broader information about damage or any further military steps.
The exchange adds to fears of a wider confrontation between the United States and Iran, with Jordan becoming a key location in the latest escalation. Trump’s warning signals that the incident could trigger a stronger American response in the days ahead.
