Trump: "49 Tomahawk Missiles Launched... If No Deal, We Will Destroy Them Tomorrow"

As U.S. military airstrikes against Iran entered their second day on June 10 (local time), U.S. President Donald Trump announced that 49 Tomahawk missiles were used to strike targets, including areas near the Iranian capital of Tehran.

Fox News reporter Trey Yingst stated that President Trump, in a phone interview with him, said that U.S. warplanes launched 49 Tomahawk missiles at Iranian targets earlier that day.

In the interview, President Trump said, "We hit them very hard tonight," adding that the attack was "vicious and violent," according to Yingst.

According to Yingst, President Trump revealed that some of the U.S. military's targets were located just 40 miles (about 65 km) from the Iranian capital of Tehran, while other targets were in the western coastal region of Iran bordering the Persian Gulf.

President Trump noted that the bombing of Iran would stop soon, but when asked what would happen if Iran did not sign the agreement proposed by the U.S. negotiating team, he replied, "We will bomb them and destroy them tomorrow night," Yingst reported.

Additionally, during the phone interview, President Trump claimed that he had personally spoken with an Iranian official, who had requested that he stop the airstrikes.

However, Iranian state media denied the content of the interview, stating that there had been no conversation between any Iranian official and President Trump.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), which oversees U.S. forces in the Middle East, announced via X (formerly Twitter) that it had "initiated additional self-defense strikes against multiple targets within Iran at 5:15 p.m. Eastern Time today (6:15 a.m. June 11, Korea Standard Time)."

The additional U.S. strikes against Iran took place about five hours after President Trump met with reporters at the White House and warned, "We will hit Iran even harder again today."
