Trump Warns Iran of Obliteration if Forced to War; US Strikes Iranian Targets

Washington DC. US President Donald Trump has warned that if America is forced to return to war, Iran will cease to exist. He also accused Iran of violating the ceasefire.

Writing on his social media site Truth Social on Saturday, Trump informed that the US military had attacked Iran's missile and drone storage sites and coastal radar systems, accusing them of violating the ceasefire. 'If we are forced to complete military action again, the existence of the Islamic Republic of Iran will end,' he said.

Meanwhile, the US Central Command (Centcom) attacked various Iranian military infrastructures on Saturday. According to the US military, those attacks were a retaliation after Iran launched a drone attack on an oil tanker named 'Kiku' flying the Panamanian flag. The ship is said to have contained approximately 2 million barrels of crude oil. The US military stated that its attacks targeted surveillance systems, communication infrastructure, air defense systems, drone storage sites, and structures related to mine-laying capabilities.

Iranian media reported explosions in the Sirik and Qeshm regions of southern Iran. Earlier on Friday, the US had also taken military action in Iran in response to an attack on a ship named Ever Lovely. Iran has also claimed to have carried out retaliatory attacks on US targets in the Gulf region. Bahrain alleged on Saturday morning that they were targeted by Iranian drones, stating that Tehran had undermined peace efforts.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) warned: 'If the attack is repeated, our response will be even more extensive.' Meanwhile, Israel has also continued its airstrikes in Lebanon. Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem has rejected any agreement to end the war, signaling further escalation of regional tensions.
