Trump promises to respond "with force" to Iranian attacks in the Middle East

RTP Notícias31 August 2026 at 16:10

The US President, Donald Trump, promised today a military response "with force" to missile attacks launched by Iran against US targets in the Middle East.

The Iranian attacks targeted installations or US interests located in the Middle East region.

Trump made this promise of military retaliation during a public statement, indicating that the United States will not fail to respond to Iranian aggression.

Tension between the United States and Iran thus escalates significantly, after the missile launches that provoked this threatening response from the American President.
