Trump says US hit Iran 'very hard' after nearly agreeing deal

President Donald Trump said the US hit Iran hard in response to attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

"We hit them very hard last night," Trump told CNN by telephone in an interview.

Trump said the US and Iran had been close to "a deal" on Saturday.

"They were giving up everything, and then all of a sudden two hours after that they hit a ship with a drone. These people, there is something wrong with them," he said.
