America and Israel declared war on Iran.
President Trump was determined to avoid the mistakes past Presidents made to suck America into endless Middle East wars.
And Donald Trump hit Iran with one chilling ultimatum that led to this unthinkable response.
On the first day of the war against Iran, the U.S. and Israel killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Khamenei oversaw decades of terror attacks on the West that killed hundreds of Americans.
President Trump celebrated Khamenei’s death as a great victory for America and a chance for the Iranian people to join Israel and the United States in overthrowing the Islamic regime.
The remaining Iranian leadership talked a big game.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian vowed “revenge.”
The Fars News Agency quoted an Iranian Revolutionary Guard statement vowing missile attacks on U.S. bases in the Middle East.
“The Armed Forces Will Execute a Different and Tough Step of Revenge
The sixth wave of Operation True Promise 4 was powerfully carried out with extensive missile and drone attacks by the IRGC on the occupied territories and U.S. military bases in the region, the statement read.
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf declared taking out Khamenei a “red line” and vowed “devastating blows” in retaliation.
“You have crossed our red line and must pay the price,” Qalibaf declared. “We will deliver such devastating blows that you yourselves will be driven to beg.”
President Trump warned Iran that this was a big mistake and pledged to hit Iran “harder than they have ever hit before” if it tried to escalate this fight.
“Iran just stated that they are going to hit very hard today, harder than they have ever hit before. 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!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
This was no bluff.
Operation Midnight Hammer, that degrade Iran’s nuclear facilties and the Delta Force Operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro proved Trump didn’t bluff.
Iran launched missiles at the UAE, Cyprus, Bahrain, and Israel.
The response was as Trump promised.
🚨🇮🇷🇮🇱 Israeli jets are hitting Tehran’s IRGC command centers again this morning.
Every command center destroyed is a room where nobody is giving orders anymore.pic.twitter.com/Qb8bJHv76r https://t.co/s05z6hE8Lf
