Trump describes US-Iran exchange of strikes as ‘love tap’

US President Donald Trump has described the recent exchange of strikes between the United States and Iran in the Strait of Hormuz as a “love tap,” ABC News writes.

“It’s just a love tap,” Trump told ABC News’ Rachel Scott when asked about the strike.

Asked if the exchange meant the ceasefire, which began a month ago, was over, Trump responded, “No, no, the ceasefire is going. It’s in effect.”

The US Central Command said it conducted “self-defense” strikes against Iranian targets after Iran fired at US destroyers transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
