U.S. President Says Missiles Are Ready
U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a sharp warning to Iran over an alleged assassination plot against him.
In a social media statement, Trump said that “1,000 missiles” were locked, loaded and aimed at Iran. He warned that more military firepower was ready if Tehran attempted any attack against him.
Trump said the United States would respond with overwhelming force if Iran carried out any such plot. His statement came at a time of rising tension between Washington and Tehran after recent military exchanges and disputes over a fragile agreement.
The warning has added fresh pressure to an already unstable situation in the region. It also comes as the United States and Iran remain locked in a wider confrontation involving maritime security, military strikes and future diplomatic talks.
Iran Reports Casualties After U.S. Strikes
Iranian officials said recent U.S. air strikes have killed 17 people and injured 115 others in six cities across the country.
The figures were reported by Al Jazeera, citing a spokesperson for Iran’s Health Ministry. The strikes reportedly took place on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The latest casualties have further increased anger in Tehran. Iranian leaders have accused Washington of escalating the conflict and violating understandings meant to reduce hostilities.
The United States has not stepped back from its pressure campaign. Washington says it is responding to Iranian actions that threaten regional security, shipping routes and U.S. interests.
Tehran Vows Not to Surrender
Iran’s lead negotiator and Parliament Speaker Mohammad Ghalibaf said Tehran would never surrender to the United States.
He said Iran remains fully prepared to defend itself if Washington backs away from its memorandum of understanding with Tehran.
Ghalibaf said ending the war is a priority for many countries. However, he stressed that the conflict would not end through Iran’s surrender.
His remarks reflect the hardening position of Iran’s leadership as pressure grows from both military and diplomatic fronts.
The latest statements from both sides suggest that tensions could rise further if no diplomatic breakthrough is reached. The situation remains highly sensitive, with regional security, U.S.-Iran talks and the risk of further military escalation all under close watch.
