The president also reportedly promised to “beat the f***ing s**t out of” Tehran over the “surprise” missile attack on US forces
US President Donald Trump has vowed to hit Iran “very hard” after Tehran launched ballistic missiles at American forces in Jordan and a drone reportedly struck a US-owned liquefied natural gas storage vessel at Egypt’s Mediterranean port of Damietta.
British maritime security firm Ambrey said a drone had struck the US-owned floating storage and regasification vessel Energos Winter on Wednesday, sparking a fire that spread to the nearby Greek-owned tanker GasLog Salem. Egypt’s Petroleum Ministry confirmed that fires had broken out aboard two vessels but did not identify their cause. No casualties were reported.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, and neither Ambrey nor the Egyptian authorities publicly attributed it to Iran.

Trump said he had been briefed on the incident, describing it as “a little more of the same” before signaling that US retaliation against Tehran was imminent.
“We’re going to be hitting them very hard because it’s our turn to hit them,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Wednesday.
