US President Donald Trump has said the US will hit Iran "hard" on Wednesday, after the two sides exchanged strikes overnight.
"We hit them hard yesterday and we’re going to hit them hard again today," he said, speaking to reporters in the Oval Office. He also reiterated a call for Iran to "sign a deal".
Iran’s president Masoud Pezeshkian said in a post on X following Trump’s briefing that Iran "will stand firm against any pressure or threat".
The US launched strikes on Iran on Tuesday after Trump said Iran had shot down a US Army helicopter.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it responded with strikes on US bases in the region.
