Trump vows response to Iran's retaliatory strikes: 'We're going to hit them hard'

President Trump has vowed a strong military response following retaliatory strikes between the United States and Iran that occurred over the weekend. Speaking to Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst on Monday, Trump declared that the U.S. intends to retaliate forcefully, stating, "We're going to hit them hard. There will be a response."

The president's remarks follow an exchange of strikes late Sunday between the two nations. The comments signal an escalation in tensions and come on the heels of the president publicly lashing out at Iran as the situation develops.
