Trump warns US will strike Iran with ‘force that has never been seen before’ if regime carries out ‘devastating’ attack

President Trump warned that the US would strike Iran with a “force that has never been seen before” if the regime continued its retaliatory strikes targeting nearly 30 American bases.

“Iran just stated that they are going to hit very hard today, harder than they have ever hit before,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Sunday.

“THEY BETTER NOT DO THAT, HOWEVER, BECAUSE IF THEY DO, WE WILL HIT THEM WITH A FORCE THAT HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE! Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP.”

The decimated Iranian regime warned earlier Sunday that it was preparing to launch “the most devastating offensive operation in the history of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s armed forces” against US bases at any moment, state media announced.

The message from the semi-official Fars News Agency went out about 6:15 a.m. local time — 9:15 p.m. Saturday Eastern Time.

“The most devastating offensive operation in the history of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s armed forces will begin toward the occupied territories and American terrorist bases in just moments,” the warning said.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed it had targeted additional retaliatory strikes at US bases in the Middle East on Sunday morning, state-sponsored media Fars News Agency reported.

“The Armed Forces Will Execute a Different and Tough Step of Revenge,” the outlet quoted the IRGC.

The “sixth wave” of its “Operation True Promise 4” was reportedly delivering extensive missiles and drones on occupied bases in the region.

The outlet claimed targets included Israel’s Tel Nof airbase, an Israeli command headquarters and a large defense industries complex in Tel Aviv.

US military officials did not confirm the potential strikes.

Iran’s threats come after the US and Israeli forces launched their “Operation Epic Fury” that killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and dozens of top military officials.

“Khamenei, one of the most evil people in History, is dead,” Trump declared on his Truth Social about 15 hours after the start of the onslaught. “This is not only Justice for the people of Iran, but for all Great Americans, and those people from many Countries throughout the World, that have been killed or mutilated by Khamenei and his gang of bloodthirsty THUGS.”
