Trump says US hit Iran 'hard' in honor of service members killed
President Donald Trump said the U.S. hit Iran "hard" in honor of the U.S. service members who were killed by Iran over the weekend.
U.S. Central Command said two service members were killed in an attack on Jordan on Friday, and that a third service member remained missing. Another service member was killed in Iraq on Saturday, CENTCOM said.
Trump said on Sunday the U.S. lost "great patriots," but said the mission of ending Iran's nuclear capabilities would carry on -- claiming that U.S. forces started another wave of attacks against Iran "in honor" of the service members lost.
"Well, we feel very badly, but you know those great people, those great patriots, were out there fighting that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Iran has been very, very badly damaged," Trump told reporters after flying back from the World Cup final in New Jersey.
"We hit them very hard again tonight, and we did that in honor of the probably three -- It's probably three as opposed to two. Great patriots," Trump said.
