Trump threatens Iran will pay 'many times over' for US troop deaths, vows to strike nuclear site

Following the deaths of multiple US service members in Jordan and Iraq over the weekend, President Trump issued a series of threats against Iran. On Truth Social, he declared that 'every time Iran kills an American Soldier they will pay for that killing many times over.' In subsequent remarks on Tuesday, Trump stated the US would strike Iran's Pickaxe Mountain nuclear site 'probably pretty soon' and 'very heavily.' The threats came amid an escalating conflict that has seen 18 US service members killed since hostilities began, with Iran's president declaring the situation a 'full-scale war.' The administration is seeking $87.6 billion in supplemental war funding.
