Former President Donald Trump issued a stark warning to Iran on Saturday night following U.S. airstrikes on multiple Iranian targets—a move that has sparked intense backlash.
Trump announced the strikes over the weekend, prompting criticism from political observers and even some Republicans, who questioned the legality of the action. One GOP lawmaker called the bombing unconstitutional, and Democrats have raised the possibility of impeachment in response.
After addressing the press, Trump turned to his social media platform, Truth Social, to deliver a blunt message to Iran.
“ANY RETALIATION BY IRAN AGAINST THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL BE MET WITH FORCE FAR GREATER THAN WHAT WAS WITNESSED TONIGHT,” he wrote in all caps.
He signed off with, “THANK YOU! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.”
The situation remains tense as questions grow over the legality and consequences of the strike.
