JAKARTA - US President Donald Trump claimed Iran had apologized to its neighbors in the Middle East and promised not to attack them again after facing continued attacks from the US and Israel.
"Iran, which is being hit hard, has apologized and surrendered to its neighbors in the Middle East and promised not to fire at them again," Trump said via his social media, Truth Social, Saturday, March 7.
"This is the first time in thousands of years that Iran has lost to the surrounding Middle Eastern countries," Trump said, so they thanked him.
"They said 'thank you President Trump' and I replied 'you too'," he continued.
According to Trump, Iran can no longer be the "bullies of the Middle East." Instead, the country has lost and will remain so for decades "until they surrender and collapse."
Meanwhile, RIA Novosti reported that Trump would carry out a massive attack on Saturday. He also threatened to carry out "total destruction" of a number of regions and groups of people who were not previously the target of attacks.
"Today Iran will be hit very hard. Areas and groups of people who were not previously considered as targets are now being considered for total destruction," Trump said on Truth Social.
Iran's Permanent Representative to the United Nations AmirSaeidIravanisebelumnya menegaskan Iran akan terus membela diri hingga agresi dan "tindakan barbar Amerika Serikat dan Israel" dihentikan.
Tensions in the Middle East have escalated after the US and Israel launched air strikes against Iran since February 28 which reportedly killed more than 900 people, including Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and at least 165 schoolgirls.
Iran then retaliated by launching a missile attack targeting locations linked to the US in Gulf countries.
