Trump Vows Powerful Military Action If Iran Strikes US
Former President Donald Trump issued a stern warning to Iran, emphasizing that any attack against the United States would trigger a military response at levels never before seen. Speaking on Sunday, Trump underscored American strength, saying that the full might of the US Armed Forces would be unleashed should Iran make any hostile move.
US Distance from Israeli Strikes on Tehran
Trump was quick to clarify that Washington had no involvement in the recent Israeli airstrikes targeting Iran’s nuclear and intelligence facilities. Reiterating this on his social media platform, he stated, “The US had nothing to do with the attack on Iran tonight.” Despite his awareness of the Israeli operations beforehand, Trump firmly dismissed any claims of American participation.
Call for Peace Amid Rising Conflict
Despite the escalating tensions, Trump expressed optimism for a diplomatic resolution. “We can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict,” he proposed, emphasizing that a peaceful agreement is within reach if both sides choose dialogue.
Spike in Hostilities
These developments come as Israeli Prime Minister pledged to strike “every target of the ayatollah regime,” leading to a fierce Iranian missile retaliation. The volatile situation has put the region on edge as both countries exchange deadly attacks.
Assassination of Iran’s Supreme Leader Considered ‘Not Off Limits’
Amid the growing crisis, some Israeli officials have reportedly not ruled out the possibility of targeting Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. A senior Israeli source revealed that eliminating Khamenei is “not off limits.” The official further stated that the conflict would only conclude if Iran either abandons its nuclear program or loses the capability to rebuild it.
What Lies Ahead?
With tensions intensifying between the US, Israel, and Iran, the international community is watching closely. Trump's warning highlights the grave risks involved if this conflict escalates further, underscoring the delicate balance between military might and diplomatic negotiations in the region.
