US President Donald Trump in a social media post claimed that the US “had nothing to do” with the Israeli regime’s Saturday night attacks against Iran, two days after he called the attacks “excellent” and suggested there was “more to come.”
In the early hours of Friday, Israel launched an unprovoked, and barbaric assault against the Islamic Republic of Iran, assassinating high-ranking Iranian military commanders and nuclear scientists, which also martyred over 70 civilians, including women and children.
The Tel Aviv regime also carried out large-scale military aggression in multiple locations inside Iran, targeting nuclear facilities, military infrastructure, and residential buildings in Tehran and other cities.
Iran soon launched its retaliatory operation “True Promise III” against the Israeli regime by firing a barrage of missiles toward the occupied Palestinian territories on Friday night.
The operation began immediately after the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, delivered a televised message, saying that the “despicable” Israeli regime would be “rendered helpless” following reprisal by the Islamic Republic’s Armed Forces.
The Israeli assault was carried out with the green light from the United States, a fact confirmed by Trump in interviews and a social media post on Friday, just hours after the attacks in Tehran and other Iranian cities.
Speaking to CNN, Trump said he “of course” supports the Israeli regime and described the strikes as “a very successful attack,” while warning Iran to return to nuclear negotiations.
In a report published on Friday, the Middle East Eye website said the US quietly delivered hundreds of advanced laser-guided missiles to the Israeli regime, knowing that they would be used against Iran.
In his post on Truth Social on Sunday, Trump also threatened Iran with military action in case the Islamic Republic targets US bases in the region.
“However, we can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict!!!” he wrote.
