President Donald Trump said five words regarding what he plans to do to retaliate the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
“You’ll find out soon” were the words the president told NewsNationMonday.
So far, six U.S. service members have been killed in Operation Epic Fury against Iran, according to U.S. Central Command.
The identities of those killed are being held for 24 hours pending next-of-kin notification.
Two drones attacked U.S. Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia Monday night.
According to initial estimates, minor damage was done to the building, and a fire broke out.
Trump said any retaliation will be made clear soon.
He also said boots on the ground are not likely to be necessary.
“We’re doing a lot of damage. We’re inflicting tremendous damage on them,” Trump said.
The president also said it will be only a matter of time before he achieves his objectives in Iran.
“I know a lot, and I will absolutely know when it’s achieved. It’s getting very close, too. We’re doing a lot of damage, we’re setting them back a lot,” he said.
Trump said operations as “ahead of schedule” as he referred to damage to nuclear weapons and missiles.
He was also asked who was in charge in Iran.
“You’ll be finding out very soon,” he said.
He was also asked if he was worried about attacks on U.S. sites or on American soil,
“No, it’s a part of war. It’s part of war, whether people like it or not, that’s the way it is,” he said.
Iran has launched missiles and drawn militias to the fight while Israeli and U.S. forces strike targets inside Iran.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Monday the U.S.-Israeli action over the weekend was in response to the Islamic Republic’s years-long targeting of the U.S. military and interests around the world.
Trump boasted about the U.S munitions stockpiles on Truth Social Monday night.
“The United States Munitions Stockpiles have, at the medium and upper medium grade, never been higher or better – As was stated to me today, we have a virtually unlimited supply of these weapons. Wars can be fought “forever,” and very successfully, using just these supplies (which are better than other countries finest arms!),” the post read.
“At the highest end, we have a good supply, but are not where we want to be. Much additional high grade weaponry is stored for us in outlying countries. Sleepy Joe Biden spent all of his time, and our Country’s money, GIVING everything to P.T. Barnum (Zelenskyy!) of Ukraine – Hundreds of Billions of Dollars worth – And, while he gave so much of the super high end away (FREE!), he didn’t bother to replace it.
“Fortunately, I rebuilt the military in my first term, and continue to do so. The United States is stocked, and ready to WIN, BIG!!! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
