WASHINGTON— Former US President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to Iran, declaring that any attack on US forces would be met with “the full strength and might” of the American military. In a post on Truth Social, Trump emphasized that Washington had no involvement in Israel’s recent strikes on Iran’s nuclear and intelligence infrastructure.
The Israeli offensive, which began early Friday, has reportedly targeted key Iranian military and nuclear facilities. Iranian authorities claim the attacks have resulted in numerous casualties, including high-ranking military officers and nuclear scientists.
As hostilities between Israel and Iran escalated over the weekend, both nations launched retaliatory strikes. In Israel, search and rescue operations were underway after missile strikes hit residential areas, killing at least seven people, including children.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has promised a relentless campaign against Iranian targets, vowing that Tehran “hasn’t seen anything yet.” In response, Iran launched a series of missile strikes in retaliation.
Despite acknowledging prior knowledge of Israel’s operation, Trump reiterated on Sunday that the United States was not involved in the attacks on Iran. However, he made it clear that any aggression against US forces would trigger an overwhelming response.
“If Iran attacks us in any form, they will face the unmatched power of the US military like never before,” Trump warned. He also expressed optimism about a potential resolution: “We can easily broker a deal between Iran and Israel and put an end to this bloodshed.”
Trump’s comments come days after he urged Iran to seek a diplomatic solution or face intensified Israeli assaults. During his presidency, Trump pulled the US out of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal and reinstated economic sanctions, derailing years of diplomatic engagement.
In the aftermath of the Israeli strikes, Tehran has suspended nuclear negotiations—discussions the US had regarded as crucial to preventing further escalation.
