Trump vows to hit Iran hard after first exchanges of fire in a month

US President Donald Trump has threatened further strikes on Iran after Iran launched missiles at two US bases in Jordan in response to a US attack on Iranian launchers near the Strait of Hormuz. Trump said the US would respond strongly, while Iran warned it would retaliate if attacked again. The latest exchange of fire has raised concerns that tensions could escalate, although both sides described the confrontation as limited. Meanwhile, the US is increasing economic pressure on Iran through new sanctions, while concerns are growing over shipping and energy supplies through the Strait of Hormuz. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for maximum restraint and a return to diplomatic talks. Credit : CGTN
