Donald Trump on Sunday warned Iran that any attack on the United States would be met with the “full strength” of the US military. He also stressed that Washington had no role in Israel’s strikes on Tehran’s nuclear and intelligence sites.
“The US had nothing to do with the attack on Iran, tonight. If we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the US Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before,” he said
The US President said that “we can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict!!!”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to hit “every target of the ayatollah regime”, and Iran has retaliated with a deadly barrage of missiles.
While Trump had said he was aware of the Israeli operation before it started, he reiterated Sunday morning on his Truth Social platform that the United States “had nothing to do with the attack on Iran, tonight.”
“If we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the US Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before,” he said in a post.
He added that “we can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict!!!”
Assassinating Khamenei ‘not off limits’
Amid rising tensions, several Israeli officials and politicians have not ruled out the possibility of targeting Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
A senior Israeli official told the Wall Street Journal that killing the supreme leader is “not off limits.” The official added that the conflict would end only if Iran gives up its nuclear program or if Israel makes it impossible for Iran to rebuild it.
