Trump Denies US Role in Strikes on Iran
In a forceful declaration, former President Donald Trump stated that the United States had no involvement in the recent Israeli military strikes targeting Iran. This came shortly after Israel reported a series of sustained attacks on key Iranian military and nuclear sites in Tehran.
Strong Warning Delivered to Tehran
Trump did not hold back in his message to Iran, warning that if the US is attacked in any manner, the American military would respond with unprecedented force. "If we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the US Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before," he declared via his social media platform.
Possibility for Peaceful Resolution
Despite the tensions, Trump expressed confidence in his ability to broker a deal between Iran and Israel to end the ongoing conflict. He emphasized the urgency, noting that Iran must come to an agreement regarding its nuclear program before it is too late.
Cancelled Nuclear Talks Intensify Concerns
A scheduled round of US-Iran nuclear negotiations in Oman was abruptly cancelled amid the escalating tension. The cancellation underscores the fragility of attempts to curtail Iran's nuclear ambitions diplomatically.
Details of Israeli Strikes
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed conducting extensive airstrikes on Tehran, targeting the Iranian Ministry of Defence and the SPND nuclear project. They also claimed to have hit a facility used to hide Iran's nuclear archive. These operations are part of Israel's "Rising Lion" campaign aimed at neutralizing perceived Iranian threats.
Escalation of Hostilities in the Region
Following the strikes, Iran retaliated by launching missile and drone attacks on Israeli energy infrastructure and fuel production facilities for fighter jets. Air raid sirens were triggered in several Israeli cities, including Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. The violence has already claimed at least seven lives, including civilians.
Israel’s Firm Stance Against Iran
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made clear that the operation will continue as long as necessary to eliminate the Iranian threat. Netanyahu claimed that the recent strikes have set back Iran’s nuclear program by several years and vowed to persist in targeting every strategic site linked to Tehran's military ambitions.
Summary

- Trump warns of severe military response if Iran attacks the US.
