US President says American forces targeted Iranian military equipment overnight
July 13, 2026: US President Donald Trump claimed that American forces carried out overnight strikes on Iranian military equipment, alleging that Tehran violated an existing military agreement. Speaking to reporters, Trump said the US had inflicted heavy damage on Iran’s military assets, including anti-aircraft systems, during the latest operation.
Trump further claimed that US forces had repeatedly responded to Iranian drone launches with military strikes. Accusing Iran of breaking the agreement, he said Washington would continue taking strong action. “We had a deal, and then they broke it. They always break it,” Trump said, adding that the US would “keep the Strait” and continue its operations.
The remarks come amid escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran, with both countries exchanging accusations over recent military actions. Iran has not immediately responded to Trump’s latest claims, and there has been no independent confirmation of the reported overnight strikes.
