US President Donald Trump escalated his rhetoric against Iran Saturday, saying in a post on his Truth Social account that Iran had “apologized and surrendered” to its neighbors in the Middle East and that Iran was going to be “hit very hard” later in the day.
In his post, President Trump said that Iran had surrendered due to continuous attacks by the US and Israel. President Trump said that new targets are being considered for attack. President Trump also said that Iran was no longer the bully of the Middle East. President Trump said that Iran could face even more destruction if its actions continue.
This comes after Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said that Iran was not going to attack any of its neighbors in the Gulf, except in situations where their territory was being used by either the US or Israel to attack Iran, according to a report by The Guardian. President Trump’s request for Iran’s unconditional surrender was rejected by President Masoud Pezeshkian, who said that such a request was not acceptable.
This is the latest in a rapidly escalating crisis involving Iran, the US, Israel, and several of Iran’s Gulf neighbors. Iran has been subjected to military pressure in recent days, with neighboring countries intercepting missiles and drones entering their airspace.
There was no independent confirmation of President Trump’s claim that Iran had surrendered to its neighbors as of Saturday.
