US President Donald Trump on Sunday, June 15, warned Iran against any retaliation on US assets, saying, “If we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the US armed forces will come down on you at levels never seen before.”
Trump’s remarks came as Israel targeted Iran’s defence ministry headquarters in Tehran and struck a natural gas processing unit linked to South Pars gas field in Iran’s Bushehr Province on Saturday.
Saying that the US had no role to play in Israel’s overnight attacks on Iran, Trump, on his Truth Social platform, claimed that he can “easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel and end this conflict.” On Sunday, Iran cancelled the sixth round of nuclear talks between Tehran and Washington DC.
At least four people were killed and over 100 injured in the Israeli coastal city of Bat Yam after an overnight Iranian missile attack, the city’s mayor said on Sunday morning, as rescue operations continued.
Waves of Iranian attacks began on Saturday and continued throughout the night and early morning.
