Trump expressed skepticism about Iran&#8217;s intentions to meet with the U.S., questioning whether Tehran could be trusted, and criticized Iran publicly, calling it a &#8220;Failed Nation&#8221; with severe internal issues and disarray. <\/p>\n<p>The attack was preceded by a U.S. airstrike on Iranian rocket launchers, ending a period of relative peace. Iran also launched a drone towards the United Arab Emirates, wich was intercepted.Meanwhile, the Trump administration is shifting focus toward economic sanctions, with Treasury secretary Scott Bessent announcing plans for secondary sanctions to pressure iran further. The escalation comes amid ongoing tensions in the region and increased efforts to counter iran&#8217;s activities.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"4\">Donald Trump<\/a> on Monday vowed to retaliate against <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/iran\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"100\">Iran<\/a> following the latest attack on a U.S. base in <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jordan\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"2623\">Jordan<\/a>, marking a return to military action after weeks of relative calm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re going to hit them hard.
