Trump Announces Unprecedented Response If Iran Seeks Revenge
U.S. President Donald Trump threatened Iran on Sunday with unprecedented military force if it retaliates against U.S. and Israeli strikes that targeted sensitive sites within Iran, resulting in the death of Iranian leader Ali Khamenei and several senior military leaders.
Trump's threats came after Washington and Tel Aviv announced a large-scale military operation inside Iran, aimed at destroying Iranian military capabilities and overthrowing the regime, according to statements from the White House.
Trump posted on the "Truth Social" platform saying that Iran announced its intention to launch a strike stronger than any previous attack, warned: "You better not do that, because if you do, we will respond with force the likes of which we have never seen before."
In a swift reaction, Tehran announced the launch of salvos of missiles at Israel and Gulf countries where U.S. bases are located, asserting that these targets are deemed legitimate.
This operation is the first of its kind in the Middle East since the invasion of Iraq in 2003, with massive naval and air forces being mobilized by Washington in the region, amid fears of the conflict's expansion and its implications for regional and global stability.
