Donald Trump issued a stark warning to Iran on Sunday, threatening "the full strength" of the US military if it dared to attack the United States. This declaration underscores heightened tensions.
He firmly reiterated Washington's non-involvement in Israel's recent strikes. These attacks targeted Iran's nuclear and intelligence facilities, raising regional alarms.
Israel's operation, commencing Friday, has devastated Iranian nuclear and military sites. Tehran reports dozens killed, including top commanders and scientists.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vows to strike "every target" of the ayatollah regime. Iran has responded with a deadly barrage of retaliatory missiles.
Despite prior awareness, Trump emphasized on Truth Social, "The United States had nothing to do with the attack on Iran, tonight." This clarifies US position.
His post continued, "If we are attacked in any way... the full strength... of the US Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before." A formidable threat.
Intriguingly, Trump also suggested, "we can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict!!!" hinting at potential diplomacy.
Earlier Friday, the US President urged Tehran to negotiate, warning of "even more brutal" Israeli attacks if they refused.
During his first term, Trump unilaterally withdrew the US from the landmark Iran nuclear accord in 2018, reimposing sanctions. This historical context shapes current events.
