Trump vows hard US strike on Iran after missile attack on Jordan bases FAST-MOVING

Trump Iran missile attack Jordan oil price spike Netanyahu

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched a ballistic missile attack on U.S. military facilities in Jordan on 29 July 2026. Jordan’s U.S‑backed army said five missiles were intercepted and none hit the base.

U.S. President Donald Trump responded that the United States would “hit Iran hard,” using profane language and promising a “tough lesson.” He said the U.S. was in a “very strong” position, noted that additional sanctions were under review, and claimed that recent U.S.–Saudi strikes in Iraq were coordinated with the Iraqi government.

At the White House, Trump met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Both leaders described the hour‑long meeting as positive and said they share the goal of preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons; Netanyahu warned that further strikes on re‑habilitated Iranian nuclear sites may be unavoidable.

The escalation drove global oil markets higher, with Brent crude jumping about 7 % to roughly $90 a barrel and WTI rising similarly, reflecting concerns over disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el‑Mandeb.
