“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” Trump said ⁠in a post on Truth Social.

He also noted that Iran had apologised ⁠to its neighbours for its strikes against them, ⁠which he cast as a surrender.
