President Donald Trump says the United States hit Iran hard in response to its latest attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, AFP reports.

“We hit them very hard last night,” Trump has told CNN by telephone in an interview centering mainly on the death of Senator Lindsey Graham.

Trump has said the United States and Iran had been close to “a deal” on Saturday.

“They were giving up everything, and then all of a sudden two hours after that they hit a ship with a drone. These people, there is something wrong with them,” he has said.
