U.S. President Donald Trump posted a message on his Truth Social platform on March 7, 2026, warning that Iran would be hit very hard. Referring to comments by Iran’s president, Trump claimed that Iran had apologized to its Middle Eastern neighbors, surrendered, and promised not to fire at them again. He said this pledge came as a result of continuous attacks by the United States and Israel.

Earlier, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian had expressed regret to neighboring countries that were targeted by Iranian strikes and assured that Iran would not attack unless provoked. However, reports indicated that Iran had not completely halted its assaults, as a suspected drone strike occurred near Dubai International Airport, and Qatar reported intercepting a missile.

In the latter part of his post, Trump stated that Iran would be struck very hard and that areas and groups not previously targeted were under serious consideration for total destruction and certain death.
