President Trump on Monday responded to Iran’s targeting of US forces in the Middle East on Tuesday, vowing to respond by beating “the f*cking sh*t out of them.”

Fox’s Trey Yingst reported that the President told him earlier, “We’re going to beat the f*cking sh*t out of them.”

Trump added, “We’ll be hitting them hard. They’re going to get a beating.”

As The Gateway Pundit reported on Tuesday, Iran launched a “surprise” missile attack against a US base just days after President Trump called off the nearly two-week-long bombing campaign against Iran to continue negotiations on Friday.

Trump had said on Monday, “We are in very deep talks with Iran. If they don’t work out, we will go back to very strong military action.”

US forces responded last night to the attempted missile strikes by Iran, which US Central Command said were “successfully intercepted.” The US military carried out a joint strike with Saudi Arabian Armed Forces against “Iran-aligned terrorists,” CENTCOM announced.

“U.S. and Saudi fighter aircraft struck multiple terrorist logistics and weapons sites across eastern Iraq in a strong response to over 30 IRGC-directed aerial drone attacks in the last 72 hours,” CENTCOM said in a press release.
