President Donald Trump said the US would strike back at Iran after a recent attack that targeted a military base in Jordan, as the war in the Middle East flared up once again following a recent pause in hostilities.

“We’ll be hitting them hard,” Trump said in a phone interview, Fox News reported Wednesday, adding that “they’re going to get a beating.”

The comments sent oil surging back above $90 a barrel. A days-long halt to strikes ended Tuesday night after US forces said they were targeted by Iran — in what Trump called a “surprise attack” — while Iran’s state-run IRIB News said the US struck a location in the country’s West Azerbaijan province. 

Iranian media said the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targeted a base in Jordan in response to “aggressive US actions,” without giving details.

US President Donald Trump welcomed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House Tuesday as the US leader sought to avoid renewed bombing in Iran and instead laid the ground for further diplomacy after both sides paused tit-for-tat strikes.

“I think we have a very strong position right now,” Trump told Fox News on Tuesday. He reiterated his threat to bomb Iran’s major bridges if no agreement can be reached, but added “if I can avoid doing that, I’d like to do that.”

Trump’s comments came four days after the US ended roughly two weeks of strikes on the Islamic Republic. Hostilities had resumed when peace negotiations over the Strait of Hormuz broke down. In turn, Iran paused retaliatory fire on Gulf states.

Some House Republicans are urging President Donald Trump to expand his visibility for them on the campaign trail, as lawmakers sound the alarm on their vulnerabilities with him not being at the top of the ticket.

Several lawmakers who spoke to Bloomberg Government said they wanted Trump to be more aggressive in the crucial months before the November election to help turn out low propensity voters with control of Congress hanging in the balance and more than 40 open House GOP seats

“He needs to travel and convince our base that he is on the ticket because if we lose the majority he’s probably going to be impeached twice a week,” said Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-Fla.).
