Trump for Iran: They're breaking the deals, so we're just gonna hit them hard.

We hit them pretty hard last night. Every time they send the drones, we hit them hard. But we had a deal. What no one knows, we had a deal. There was a deal concluded and then they broke it. They always step on it. We've had 10 deals with these people and so we're just gonna hit them hard”, he said in a phone interview for Fox News.

Trump said that, in addition to the new attacks, the US will become “guardian of Hormuz Strait”.

We will now protect him and get paid to protect”, he said.

Trump said he would expect payment for protecting the Hormuz Strait, because “we just want to be repaid for all of this, to put our people at risk”.

His comments came after the US Army increased the number of attacks it is conducting against Iran over the weekend.
