'We'll be hitting them hard': Trump warns of more strikes on Iran

Published Updated

Asked about the chances of reviving the ceasefire after days of exchanging strikes with Iran, US President Donald Trump replies, “We just want to win.”

Speaking to reporters during a cabinet meeting at Camp David, Trump reiterates that the US is “doing well” with regard to Iran, that their military has been degraded and that Tehran can never possess a nuclear weapon.

“We’ll be hitting them, we’ll be hitting them very hard,” he says in response to a question about what may happen in the next four weeks. “At some point they’re going to say ‘we just can’t take it anymore.’“
