Washington: US President Donald Trump on Sunday issued a stark warning to Iran, cautioning Tehran against carrying out what it has described as a major military strike.
In a strongly worded statement, Trump said Iran had indicated it intended to launch an attack “harder than ever before.” He responded by warning that any such move would trigger an overwhelming American response, describing the potential retaliation as unlike anything witnessed previously.
“They better not do that,” Trump said, making clear that Washington would respond with extraordinary force if Iran followed through on its threat.
“Iran just stated that they are going to hit very hard today, harder than they have ever hit before. THEY BETTER NOT DO THAT, HOWEVER, BECAUSE IF THEY DO, WE WILL HIT THEM WITH A FORCE THAT HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE! Thank you for your attention to this matter!” the post reads.
The remarks come amid rising tensions in West Asia, where hostilities between Iran and its adversaries have intensified in recent days. Military posturing and fiery rhetoric from both sides have raised concerns about a broader regional conflict.
While Trump did not specify the nature of the intelligence behind Iran’s alleged plans, his message signaled that the United States is closely monitoring developments. The president’s comments also underline Washington’s readiness to respond decisively should American interests or allies come under attack.
Tehran has yet to officially respond to Trump’s latest warning. However, analysts say the exchange of threats reflects a volatile moment, with both nations seeking to project strength while the international community watches anxiously for signs of de-escalation.
