Iran will be "hit very hard" by the United States and Israel on the night of March 8, US President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social.
"Iran, which is being beat to hell, has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors, and promised that it will not shoot at them anymore. This promise was only made because of the relentless US and Israeli attack. They were looking to take over and rule the Middle East," Trump stated.
According to the American president, this is the first time in thousands of years that Iran has been surrounding to neighboring Middle Eastern countries.
"They have said, 'Thank you President Trump.' I have said, 'You're welcome!' Iran is no longer the 'Bully of the Middle East,' they are, instead, 'The Loser of the Middle East,' and will be for many decades until they surrender or, more likely, completely collapse!" he added.
Trump also announced a hard strike on Iran.
"Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, because of Iran's bad behavior, are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time," emphasized the US president.
US-Israel operation against Iran
On February 28, Israel and the US launched an operation against Iran, in which the Supreme Leader of the Islamic state, Ali Khamenei, was also eliminated.
In response, the Iranian army began attacking both Israel and several Middle Eastern countries. Among those hit were Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, Jordan, and Azerbaijan.
A strike was also carried out on a British military base in Cyprus, which shook Europe and forced preparations for potential military actions.
The conflict is spreading across the entire Middle East and is already having global consequences.
