President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Iran, vowing an unprecedented military response if the Islamic Republic carries out any attack on the United States.
In a message posted on his official Truth Social account on Sunday, President Trump stated:
“If we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the U.S. Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before.”
The President’s comments come amid heightened tensions in the Middle East following a wave of violence involving Israel and Iran.
While reaffirming that the United States was not involved in the reported Israeli strikes on Iranian targets, Trump made it clear that any aggression toward American assets or personnel would be met with overwhelming force.
“You will live to regret such action,” he warned, in what 9News Nigeria describes as one of the most direct threats issued by the U.S. to Tehran in recent years.
The statement has drawn international attention, with many global leaders closely monitoring the rapidly evolving situation.
Trump’s firm stance reflects growing concerns within the administration that Iran may consider retaliatory measures that could impact U.S. interests in the region.
The White House has yet to issue an official statement beyond the President’s post, but senior administration officials have emphasized the U.S. commitment to protecting its allies and citizens.
