AT Kabul: Former U.S. President Donald Trump took to his social media platform, Truth Social, to assert that the United States had no involvement in the recent attack on Iranian territory. In a strongly worded message posted late Saturday night, Trump distanced the U.S. from the incident while issuing a stark warning to Tehran.
“The United States had no role in tonight’s attack on Iran,” Trump wrote. “But if Iran attacks us in any way, shape, or form, the full force and power of the United States military will be unleashed upon you with unprecedented strength and ferocity.”
The comments come amid heightened tensions in the Middle East following reports of explosions in several Iranian cities. While the source of the attack remains unclear, speculation has surged about potential foreign involvement.
Trump’s warning echoes his administration’s “maximum pressure” approach toward Iran, which included economic sanctions and military threats. Though no longer in office, his comments continue to carry weight among his political base and on the global stage, especially as he leads the 2024 Republican presidential race.
Iranian officials have not yet publicly responded to Trump’s statement. The international community has urged restraint, fearing the potential for further escalation in an already volatile region.
