Israel-Iran Tensions: United States President Donald Trump on Sunday gave a stern warning to Iran, cautioning that the "full strength and might" of the US Armed Forces will come down if the country is attacked. This comes after the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), in a post on X, stated that it had completed a series of strikes in Tehran and claimed that it had targeted the Iranian Ministry of Defence headquarters. 

In a post on the social media platform Truth Social, Trump clarified that the US had nothing to do with the attack on Iran last night and warned of military action. 

"The U.S. had nothing to do with the attack on Iran, tonight. If we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the U.S. Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before. However, we can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict!!!" the US President wrote. 

Israel-Iran Tensions 

Israel launched a massive airstrike on Iranian military and nuclear sites, dubbed 'Operation Rising Lion,' in response to which Iran fired ballistic missiles at Israeli cities. The tensions between the two nations have been escalating since then. 

The IDF on Sunday (IST) claimed that it had concluded a series of "extensive" strikes on Iran's capital city, Tehran. 

The IDF further claimed that it had targeted the headquarters of the Iranian Ministry of Defence and the SPND nuclear project in its strikes. 

In a post by the IDF on its X handle, it shared a video and wrote in the caption that Iran had launched Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), many of which Israel intercepted. 

The conflict has resulted in casualties on both sides. According to ANI, reports indicate at least 78 fatalities and over 320 injuries in Iran, and three deaths and over 170 wounded in Israel.

Amid the unrest, the US President reiterated his stance that Iran should seek diplomatic engagement with the US over its nuclear ambitions.
