US President Donald Trump issued a stern warning to Iran on Sunday, declaring that if the US is attacked in any manner, it could unleash its army would possibly “at levels never seen before.” The assertion got here as Trump sought to distance the United States from Israel’s latest huge airstrikes on Iran, which had been performed underneath Operation Rising Lion, ensuing in rising tensions throughout the Middle East area.In a publish on Truth Social, Trump wrote a direct message to the Khamenei-led Islamic Republic: “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. However, we can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict!!!”Trump’s place on Israel’s Operation Rising Lion, nonetheless, has shifted a number of occasions over the previous few days. Just hours earlier than the Israeli offensive, he had referred to as for a diplomatic answer with Tehran.But after the Israeli airstrikes concluded, the president appeared to credit score his personal previous warnings to Iran, as a build-up trigger for Iran’s nuclear aspirations.“Two months ago I gave Iran a 60-day ultimatum to ‘make a deal,'” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Today is day 61. I told them what to do, but they just couldn’t get there. Now they have, perhaps, a second chance!”In one other in depth publish earlier, Trump claimed he had warned Iran in “the strongest of words”, asserting that Iranian commanders had been caught off guard: “They didn’t know what was about to happen. They are all DEAD now, and it will only get worse!”He added a ultimate attraction for de-escalation: “There has already been great death and destruction, but there is still time to make this slaughter… come to an end. Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left.”Israeli airstrikes killed six of Iran’s high nuclear scientists and several other senior army commanders. Israeli officers defended the operation as a “preemptive strike” geared toward dismantling Iran’s nuclear weapons infrastructure.
