US warns Iran it will respond with 'overwhelming force' on Iran

US Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker said on Fox News Sunday that if Iran "want to act belligerent, then he will respond with overwhelming force," as the U.S. and Iran traded heavy missile and drone strikes over the weekend. Whitaker said the US hit 140 Iranian military targets on Saturday as part of a campaign "to degrade Iran's ability to attack civilian mariners and commercial vessels" in the Strait of Hormuz. He urged Iran to "get their house in order" and warned the interim agreement signed last month is "performance-based." Support stories that matter.
