Washington: US President Donald Trump on Saturday issued a strong warning to Iran, saying the country would face severe consequences and could be “hit very hard” as tensions escalate in the Middle East.
In a message posted on social media, Trump said that certain areas and groups that were previously not considered targets could now face “complete destruction” if the situation continues to worsen. The remarks come amid growing hostilities in the region and rising military pressure involving the United States and Israel.

Trump’s comments followed a statement from Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, who reportedly apologised to neighbouring nations affected by recent Iranian attacks.
Pezeshkian said Tehran would avoid targeting regional countries unless attacks against Iran originated from their territories. The remarks were seen as an attempt to ease tensions with neighbouring states after recent military strikes.
Trump credited the apology to sustained pressure from the United States and Israel, claiming that military operations and diplomatic pressure had forced Iran to reconsider its approach.
According to the US leader, Tehran had assured neighbouring countries that it would refrain from targeting them in the future. Trump further alleged that Iran had ambitions to dominate the Middle East but said recent actions by the US and its allies had weakened those plans.
