Trump Rages About Surprise Iran Attack to Fox News: ‘We’re Going to Beat the ------- ---- Out of Them!’
Mediaite ^ | July 29, 2026 | Alex Griffing

Posted on 07/29/2026 7:06:55 AM PDT by Miami Rebel

President Donald Trump raged to Fox News’s Trey Yingst about Tuesday night’s surprise attack by Iran on U.S. troops in Jordan, telling him “we are going to beat the ------- ---- out of them.”

Yingst, Fox’s chief foreign correspondent, reported on Trump’s comments while joining Fox & Friends on Wednesday morning and noted that Trump added, “We’ll be hitting them hard.”

“Yeah, guys, good morning. President Trump reacting to that Iranian attack on U.S. forces overnight in Jordan. President Trump tells Fox News about Iran: ‘We are going to beat the ------- ---- out of them.’ He went on to say, ‘We’ll be hitting them hard. They’re going to get a beating,’” Yingst began his report, adding:

So clearly, the United States is going to respond to what the president described as a surprise attack. He says U.S. forces had just minutes to shoot down these incoming Iranian ballistic missiles. The president says he has reviewed video of the shoot-down, and it was U.S. forces conducting this operation to defend that area. He said it was real-time — they were calling out coordinates and ensuring that none of this incoming Iranian fire got through.

I also asked the president about those U.S. and Saudi airstrikes against Iran-backed Iraqi Shia militias overnight. He says those strikes were coordinated with the Iraqi government. He called these Iran-backed militias “a cancer on the world” and says he is considering additional warnings against Iranian proxies and their link to the Iranian regime.

The president also talked about his meeting yesterday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Oval Office. He says it was a great meeting — he understands now. It appears that the relationship between President Trump and the Israeli prime minister is strengthening. And again, the president called that meeting in the Oval great.

In terms of possible talks with the Iranian regime, the president says, “We’re going to let them keep talking.” Remember, the Iranians came to President Trump after 13 straight days of U.S. bombing against Iran, asking to meet about the Strait of Hormuz and their broader nuclear ambitions, and those talks are taking place as we speak, behind the scenes — and then this surprise attack launched against U.S. forces overnight. And again, President Trump telling Fox News, “We are going to beat the effing s*** out of them,” and that U.S. strikes will take place against Iran in response to the surprise attack overnight against U.S. forces in Jordan.

“What’s intriguing, too, is we understand the previous attacks were with Saudi Arabia. This whole thing started with Epic Fury, with Israel. Do you sense that there might be a comprehensive plan in place, or being worked on, that would involve Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, UAE — who at various times have taken unilateral action on their own — along with the IDF?” followed up host Brian Kilmeade.

“It’s absolutely possible, because the Iranian plan here backfired. By attacking all of these Gulf countries, they built an informal coalition that is now targeting Iranian proxies in the region, and even Iranian territory,” Yingst replied, adding:

And we saw that last night on display: Saudi Arabia publicly admitting that they are participating in strikes against Iranian proxies in Iraq alongside U.S. forces. And other countries in the Gulf have participated in a limited capacity against the Iranians, targeting some of these coastal areas around the city of Bandar Abbas, next to the Persian Gulf, where many of those U.S. strikes took place.

And remember, when we spoke with President Trump earlier this year during Operation Epic Fury, he said he was most surprised by the fact that the Iranians were targeting these countries that were uninvolved — that were not striking Iran at the time. And so, again, what Iran has done here by targeting these Gulf countries is actually building this informal coalition that is now being used to pressure the Iranian regime.

The question remains if these talks will lead to some sort of agreement. But again, President Trump tells Fox News there will be a U.S. response to this surprise attack overnight against U.S. forces in Jordan.

Trump needs to review the Sharon-Arafat cat-and-mouse that went on for a decade. BJ Clinton thought he had the deal of the century — until Arafat reneged. Trump only has 2 years.

Iran will play this game until Trump is out of office.

Trump initiated this. Then, like so other presidents, rushed the diplomats in before actually winning the war.

> “We’ll be hitting them hard.” <

What can be done that hasn’t been done before? Just throwing it out for discussion.

Hitting bridges, power plants, etc. would be an option, I guess. But I doubt if even that would get the mullahs’ attention. Crazy religious fanatics are like that.

He doesn't employ mass death and destruction as a first recourse. That is not always a bad thing.

Haven’t we been “hitting then hard” since February?

To be clear, I've never used this for POTUS, but today it is well deserved.

Trump is a man with little self control who often loses his temper and screams out profane threats.

“We’re not inflicting pain on these fu..ers. When people kill us, they should be killed in greater numbers.” Then, with his face reddening, his voice rising, and his fist pounding his thigh, he leaned into [the national security adviser] as if it were his fault: “I believe in killing people who try to hurt you, and I can’t believe we’re being pushed around by these two-bit pricks.”

That was Bill Clinton in 1993, after American soldiers were killed in Somalia.

“What can be done that hasn’t been done before”

I suppose there are newly discovered targets, and targets that we haven’t up to now wanted to destroy, or partially destroy.

Generally speaking, I think time is not on Iran’s side.

You haven’t won a war until you read or hear from any surving leadership, “We surrender unconditionally. What would you like us to do now?”.

Less Talk, more bombing. I have grown tired of the Iranians. They have killed to many innocents since 1979. They show no respect for their neighbors or peace. Absolutely eliminate them all. Go to Congress, get an act of war. If Congress says no, then let Congress take responsibility for the consequences.

It’s just going to get uglier for Americans and are allies if they don’t eliminate them.

He’d be thrown out of the REPUBLICAN party over a statement like that today.

Did Trump even have any diplomats involved at all?

I thought his fumbling began when he sent those two real estate agent clowns as his "envoys" to negotiate with Iran.

31 Iranian refineries + 31 Israeli missiles = Good times for Iranian shoe repairmen

Russian stuff can’t adequately protect Russian refineries and export facilities.

If Chinese stuff could, China would sell it and Russia would buy it.

FR defeatists say Iran is Texas-sized.

Great Question!!
This is what I would do. I would destroy all ports in Iran and all port cities. People should be told it’s coming and evacuate to the interior of the nation. Then, I would destroy all bridges and roads that don’t lead to Pakistan or Afghanistan. Those that cross the desert would be left intact and open for traffic for now. Then I would destroy every dam, every power station, every water pumping station, and EVERY SINGLE OIL WELL AND REFINERY. They would all burn uncontrollably for now.

Then, and only after all that, I would tell the people to leave the cities and villages. I would subsequently carpet bomb every city and village to ruins, or just fire bomb it.

This is going to end ugly sooner or later, and it’s better that this conflict doesn’t take the entire world out with it. Time to channel some LeMay, Sherman, Pershing, Grant, and other people that truly understood what war is supposed to be. War is what you do when all diplomacy fails, and it should be very violent and very deadly.
