Trump says US will ‘beat the f—ing s—‘ out of Iran after surprise missile attack

WASHINGTON — President Trump vowed Wednesday to “beat the f—ing s— out of” Iran in response to a surprise missile attack by the Islamic Republic targeting US troops stationed in Jordan.

All of the missiles were intercepted before US and Saudi aircraft targeted Tehran-backed militias in eastern Iraq.

“We’ll be hitting them hard,” Trump told Fox News chief foreign affairs correspondent Trey Yingst in a brief interview. “They’re going to get a beating.”

Despite the plans for additional retaliation, Trump added that negotiations with Iran will continue, saying “we’re going to let them keep talking.”

Iran’s attack ended a multi-day pause in fighting between the two sides after the US halted strikes on Iran Friday in response to what Trump described as progress in negotiations.
