US President Donald Trump delivered a new message of
firmness toward Iran, stating that the recent military actions undertaken by
Washington represent only a fraction of his administration's capacity to
respond to the Iranian regime.
During statements broadcast by various media outlets and
social networks, the president asserted that the US offensive has been
contained compared to his country's military power. "Honestly, they
haven't seen anything yet. We've been gentle," he said, referring to the
operations targeting strategic Iranian objectives.
Trump also maintained that the damage caused by the attacks
would be so extensive that Iran would likely be unable to recover the affected
infrastructure. "I don't think they'll ever be able to rebuild," he
stated, insisting that the Iranian regime's military capabilities have been
severely compromised.
These statements come amid escalating tensions in the Middle
East, where the United States and Iran are engaged in a confrontation marked by
attacks, retaliation, and an escalating exchange of threats. The US
administration has defended its military operations, arguing that they seek to
reduce Tehran's ability to carry out activities it considers destabilizing in
the region and to support allied armed groups.
