Trump cautions Iran not to attack US
(MENAFN) US President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Iran, stating that any attack against the US will be met with a powerful and unprecedented military response. His comments come amid a dramatic escalation in violence between Iran and Israel.
On Saturday, Fars News Agency reported, citing a military source in Tehran, that Iran plans to respond to Israeli strikes by extending attacks to all areas under Israeli control and nearby US bases in the region.
Iran’s UN ambassador, Amir Iravani, accused Washington of being complicit in Israeli aggression against Iran.
On Sunday, Trump addressed Iran directly on his Truth Social platform: “If we are attacked in any way by Iran, the full force of the US Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before.” He insisted the US was not involved in the attack and called on Iran to pursue diplomacy to resolve the conflict.
Nuclear talks scheduled in Oman were called off after Israel struck Iran on Friday, hitting nuclear sites and killing several high-profile military officers and scientists. Iran dismissed Israeli assertions that the attacks were meant to preempt a nuclear threat and called them a “declaration of war.”
In retaliation, Iran fired a barrage of ballistic missiles at Israeli targets, including Tel Aviv and Haifa, killing at least 10 people and injuring nearly 200. The two sides exchanged attacks through the weekend, with Israeli strikes hitting Iran’s energy and nuclear facilities in response.
