Trump says US will hit Iran 'very hard' over the next week

Mar 13, 2026, 11:12 GMT+0

US President Donald Trump said the United States would escort vessels through the Strait of Hormuz if needed and warned Washington would strike Iran “very hard over the next week.”

Asked in a Fox News interview about helping oil tankers pass through the key shipping route, Trump said: “We would do it if we needed to… hopefully things are going to go very well. We’re going to see what happens.”

“We’re going to be hitting them very hard over the next week,” he added in the interview with Fox’s Brian Kilmeade.
