Trump against Iran: 'I am losing faith in them, we will hit them very hard'

US President Trump sharply attacked Iran during a cabinet meeting at Camp David, accusing it of lies and escalating fighting during negotiations, and threatened: "We will hit them very hard." He revealed that this week five missiles fired by Iran at a US base in Jordan were intercepted. Meanwhile, US reports assess that internal power struggles in Tehran will prolong the war, while Iran signals it is not afraid of escalation and continues to attack regional countries.

US President Donald Trump held a cabinet meeting at Camp David today (Friday), where he sharply attacked Iran. He accused Tehran of dishonesty and violating commitments in negotiations, saying: "I am losing faith in them, because they are lying and they are presenting false pretenses." Trump revealed that this week five missiles fired by Iran at a US base in Jordan were intercepted, while envoy Steve Witkoff was conducting negotiations. He threatened: "We will hit them. We will hit them very hard." The president compared the current campaign to the Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Korea wars, and claimed he had already destroyed Iran's military capability, although "they still have something left." Meanwhile, a CNN report assesses that internal power struggles in the Revolutionary Guards will prolong the war. Iran continues to attack regional countries: it struck a gas tanker in Egypt, fired missiles at Kuwait and Bahrain, and the Houthis attacked Saudi Arabia from Iraqi territory. In Tehran, they believe Trump does not want a prolonged war ahead of the midterm elections and are trying to challenge him. In Washington, no decision has yet been made on continuing the fighting.
