Trump claims Iran "surrendered" to neighboring countries after being struck by the US and Israel

Investing.com — U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Iran has apologized to its Middle Eastern neighbors and promised to stop attacking these countries. Trump revealed this information in a post on Truth Social, attributing it to ongoing military actions by the U.S. and Israel.

In the post, Trump stated that Iran, after what he described as a “ruthless U.S.-Israel strike,” has “apologized and surrendered” to regional countries.

“Iran is being beaten badly, has apologized to its Middle Eastern neighbors, surrendered, and promised not to attack them anymore,” Trump wrote.

He added that this commitment was entirely due to ongoing military pressure and claimed that Tehran had previously “tried to take over and dominate the Middle East.”

The president also asserted that this development marks Iran’s “first defeat in thousands of years” by neighboring Middle Eastern countries, and he said regional countries have expressed their gratitude to him for this outcome.

“They said, ‘Thank you, President Trump.’ I said, ‘You’re welcome!’” Trump wrote.

Trump further warned that Iran could face more strikes, stating the country will “suffer very severe blows,” and hinted at considering new targets.

“Careful consideration is being given to completely destroying and causing irreversible consequences to… regions and groups that had not previously been considered targets,” he wrote.

These remarks came after the U.S. and Israel launched strikes against Iranian-related targets, escalating regional tensions and raising concerns about a broader regional conflict.
