President Donald Trump told Fox News on Friday that the US is 'hitting them hard' against Iran, adding that 'it's going well' and that 'in the end something very big will happen,' according to reports of the interview.
New details have emerged from President Donald Trump's Fox News interview, with Trump now saying the situation against Iran is "going well" and hinting that "in the end something very big will happen." The remarks expand on his earlier statements from the same interview, reported by The Zioneer at 17:35 Jerusalem, in which he had said the US is "hitting them hard" and "can continue to win." The latest phrasing adds a significant new element—"something very big"—not present in the previous versions of the interview reported at 17:35.
The latest formulation adds to a series of Trump statements on Iran over recent weeks. On June 8, Trump told the New York Post that "things are going great" regarding Iran. On June 11, he told Fox News the US had "not hit Iran hard enough yet." On July 17, in a live address to the nation, he declared the US was "winning big" against Iran. The thread of today's Fox News interview has evolved through multiple reports: initial versions quoted Trump saying the US will continue to strike Iran hard, with later versions adding "it's going well" and "something will happen," and now the latest detail of "something very big."
The broader context includes Trump's previous statements on a potential deal. As The Zioneer reported on June 23, Trump said that Iran had been "destroyed" and that the US is "in a good position" and "making a deal." In a July 29 interview with Fox News, he vowed to "beat the hell out of" Iran after an attack on US forces. Trump has also expressed confidence in the diplomatic path, telling Sky News on June 9 that he does not believe Israel will renew war with Iran.
The meaning of Trump's "something very big" remark remains unclear—whether it refers to a diplomatic breakthrough, a military escalation, or another outcome. The report originates from a single source, with no immediate confirmation or additional details from Fox News. No further context for the remark has been provided.
