President Donald Trump said Friday evening that Iran launched five missiles at Jordan, accusing Tehran of lying and stating he is losing trust in the regime, according to N12 reporter Asaf Rozentzweig. The new remarks add the number of missiles to Trump's earlier statement at 19:34 Jerusalem, in which he said the missile strike on Jordan occurred during US-Iran talks.
President Donald Trump has specified that Iran fired five missiles at Jordan, accusing Tehran of lying and saying he is losing trust in the regime. The remarks were reported by N12's Asaf Rozentzweig at 19:53 Jerusalem Friday evening.
The statement adds the number of missiles to Trump's earlier accusation at 19:34, in which he said the missile strike on Jordan occurred while US-Iran talks were ongoing. Earlier in the evening, at 18:47, Trump had said Iran is in a 'bad situation' and cannot be trusted, but acknowledged that Tehran is 'at least serious.'
The missile strike on Jordan, which Trump has cited as evidence of Iranian duplicity, is part of a broader pattern of exchanges between the US and Iran. The Zioneer has previously reported on US strikes on Iranian missile depots and radar sites, as well as Trump's shifting rhetoric on the Iranian regime.
The new remarks do not specify whether the five missiles impacted Jordanian territory or were intercepted. No confirmation from Jordanian or US officials has been reported.
