Trump: US Forces 'Striking Very Strongly' Against 70+ Targets in Syria

"President Donald Trump—the self-described 'most anti-war president in history'—on Friday said the US military is 'striking very strongly' against Islamic State strongholds in Syria following the killing of two Iowa National Guard members and an American civilian interpreter in the Mideast nation."

“ 'Because of ISIS’s vicious killing of brave American Patriots in Syria, whose beautiful souls I welcomed home to American soil earlier this week in a very dignified ceremony, I am hereby announcing that the United States is inflicting very serious retaliation, just as I promised, on the murderous terrorists responsible,' Trump said on his Truth Social network."

“ 'We are striking very strongly against ISIS strongholds in Syria, a place soaked in blood which has many problems, but one that has a bright future if ISIS can be eradicated,' the president continued. 'The Government of Syria, led by a man who is working very hard to bring Greatness back to Syria, is fully in support.' "

“ 'All terrorists who are evil enough to attack Americans are hereby warned—YOU WILL BE HIT HARDER THAN YOU HAVE EVER BEEN HIT BEFORE IF YOU, IN ANY WAY, ATTACK OR THREATEN THE U.S.A.,' he added."
