Donald Trump Warns Iran About Possible Retaliation for U

S. Airstrikes In the midst of recent diplomatic tensions, former U.S. President Donald Trump issued a stern warning to the Iranian government, emphasizing that any attempt to retaliate for recent airstrikes will be met with the full force of the United States, with maximum resolve and superiority. The statements were made on the eve of significant events in Iran-U.S. relations, which have once again escalated amid American military actions and diplomatic negotiations. According to information shared by Trump on his platform Truth Social, the United States carried out a missile strike on three nuclear facilities in Iran during the night of June 21 — targets in Fordo, Nantanzi, and Isfahan. The objective of this operation was to destroy sites that U.S. intelligence considers crucial for Iran’s nuclear program, causing discontent and concern among the entire international community. Following this attack, the American leader posted a sharp warning on social media directed at Tehran. "Any Iranian retaliation for these actions will meet with a force that significantly exceeds everything witnessed this evening," Trump stated. This declaration indicates a high level of regional tension and suggests the U.S. intends to employ force in response to any counterattacks. This is not the first instance of heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran in recent months. It is noteworthy that, ahead of the American airstrikes, diplomatic negotiations took place in Geneva on June 20 involving representatives from France, the United Kingdom, and Germany. European Union countries called on Iranian authorities to return promptly to the nuclear negotiations process. However, the dialogue has so far not yielded significant results: Tehran responded with sharp criticism and described the proposals discussed during the talks as "unrealistic" and unattainable. The escalation occurs against a backdrop of global pressure on Iran regarding its nuclear program. International observers are increasingly concerned about the possibility of developing events that could lead to an open conflict in the Middle East, which would have far-reaching consequences for regional and global security. At the same time, various scenarios are being analyzed, including potential escalation of military actions or diplomatic resolution of the conflict. All parties are calling for prudence and restraint, but the actual steps taken by Tehran and Washington constantly shape the situation, which remains tense and unpredictable.
