US President Donald Trump has said that the United States hit Iran “very hard last night.”
“These people, there’s something wrong with them,” Trump told CNN’s Jake Tapper during a morning interview on the State of the Union show.
“We had a deal with them yesterday,” he said. “They were giving up everything, and then all of the sudden, two hours after that, they hit a ship with a drone.”
The US military said it hit 140 Iranian military targets in its latest strikes, following an attack on a merchant ship passing through the Strait of Hormuz it blamed on Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. It marks the third round of US strikes in a week and comes after both countries’ leaders issued public threats.
There are conflicting messages when it comes to the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran’s authority tasked with overseeing a new protocol for transits through the waterway said today that the passage of vessels is “not possible,” but Trump told CNN “it’s open as far as we’re concerned.”
