Newsman: President Trump warns Iran may face ‘complete destruction and certain death.’
US President Donald Trump, on Saturday, warned that Iran ‘will be hit very hard today’ and vowed “complete destruction, death” amid the ongoing Israel-US-Iran conflict that entered its eighth day.
“Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, because of Iran’s bad behavior,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
Trump’s message also comes hours after Iran president Pezeshkian apologised. The POTUS claimed that the Islamic Republic apologised and surrendered to its Middle East neighbours.
In a pre-recorded speech broadcast on state TV on Saturday, Pezeshkian said Iran’s neighbours will not be targeted unless attacks are launched from them during the war with Israel and the United States.
Iran launched retaliatory strikes after the US and Israel jointly attacked the Islamic Republic on Saturday 28, February. Blasts were reported across Abu Dhabi, Doha, Qatar among other key Middle Eastern hubs – which are also home to US military bases.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei was also killed in the US-Israel strikes.
