Trump warns Iran: ‘It will be much worse’ if attacks continue

President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to Iran following US military strikes, declaring that any further attacks will be met with a significantly harsher response. In a series of posts on social media on Thursday evening, Trump confirmed that the American strikes were carried out as retaliation for Iran’s bombing of ships, and made clear that escalation would not be tolerated.

The warning comes after the US military launched operations in response to what the administration has characterised as Iranian aggression. Trump’s heavily-worded threat suggests the White House is preparing for the possibility of further Iranian action, whilst simultaneously attempting to deter it through the promise of more severe consequences.

The exchange marks an escalation in tensions between Washington and Tehran, with both sides signalling their willingness to engage in military action. The US has maintained its position that it will respond robustly to any Iranian provocations, whilst Iran has previously indicated it reserves the right to defend itself against what it views as American aggression in the region.
