U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a stringent warning to Iran, pledging to retaliate aggressively if Tehran retaliates in any manner against the attack on the United States.
” Any retaliation by Iran against the United States of America will be met with Force far greater than what was witnessed tonight,” Trump said.
This statement comes hours after a monumental success of the U.S. military operation, which was designed to target and bomb three of Iran’s nuclear facilities. However, for Trump, the mission was “spectacular military success”, while adding that “completely and thoroughly destroyed” key enrichment sites in phase one.
According to Trump, the operation was a historical landmark for the future of Middle Eastern geopolitics as he further termed Iran, “the bully of the Middle East” and added that “it is time for peace”.
His warnings are that if peace does not soon materialize, the U.S. would continue hitting Iranian targets “with precision, speed, and capability”.
The restatement did not exclude Trump from warning that there would be attacks in continuation where there is no peace between Iran and Israel.
Even in another separate order, Trump threatened further military action if Iran does not enter peace negotiations with Israel, thus emphasizing the administration’s pursuit of long-term regional stability. The international community now waits with concern as tensions flare.
Iran has yet to issue any public reaction.
