President Donald Trump has threatened Iran with a major military escalation, vowing that the country will receive “a beating” after a missile attack on a US base in Jordan. The warning came a day after Iran’s Revolutionary Guard claimed responsibility for the attempted surprise strike, which the US said was intercepted. Trump made the remarks following a White House meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to Al Jazeera. In response to the attack, US and Saudi forces carried out overnight strikes against Iran-backed militias in the region. The latest confrontation has rattled global markets, which reacted to the heightened tensions in the Middle East. The Times of India reported that Trump threatened a “hard” response, while Al Jazeera said the US president promised to deliver a “beating” to Iran. Both outlets noted that the US base in Jordan was targeted by missiles but that the attack was thwarted. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said it was responsible for the operation. The US has not confirmed any casualties from the incident. The Trump administration has not detailed the scope of its planned retaliation, but the president’s remarks signal a willingness to escalate militarily. The situation remains volatile, with further exchanges possible.
