President Trump has vowed that Iran will be hit “very hard” today, as Operation Epic Fury enters its second week.
“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,” President Trump wrote on Truth Social.
The President went on to say that Iran is no longer the “Bully of the Middle East” after the nation’s president apologized to its neighbours in the region for hitting them with missile and drone attacks over the last week.
“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 U.S. and Israeli attack,” Trump said.
“They were looking to take over and rule the Middle East. It is the first time that Iran has ever lost, in thousands of years, to surrounding Middle Eastern Countries. They have said, ‘Thank you President Trump.’ I have said, ‘You’re welcome!’”
President Masoud Pezeshkian apologized in a pre-recorded video for Iran’s retaliation against other nations in the region including Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
Pezeshkian said Iran had the right to “take all necessary measures” in its own defense, but added the strikes against other nations in the region would end so long as they don’t launch retaliation of their own.
On Friday, President Trump said he would only accept “unconditional surrender” from Iran.
In his video, Pezeshkian rubbished such a possibility, saying “That’s a dream they should take to their graves.”
