U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday (March 7) Iran has apologised and surrendered to its Middle East neighbours, and promised that it will not shoot at them anymore.
Trump made the remarks in a social media post on Truth Social, adding "Today Iran will be hit very hard!"
"Iran, which is being beat to HELL, has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors, and promised that it will not shoot at them anymore. This promise was only made because of the relentless U.S. and Israeli attack. They were looking to take over and rule the Middle East. It is the first time that Iran has ever lost, in thousands of years, to surrounding Middle Eastern Countries. They have said, “Thank you President Trump.” I have said, “You’re welcome!” Iran is no longer the “Bully of the Middle East,” they are, instead, “THE LOSER OF THE MIDDLE EAST,” and will be for many decades until they surrender or, more likely, completely collapse! Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, because of Iran’s bad behavior, are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" Trump stated.
He also noted that Iran had apologised to its neighbours for its strikes against them, which he cast as a surrender.
Iranian President Masoud said: "I personally apologise to neighbouring countries," urging them not to join U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran.
He said Iran’s temporary leadership council had agreed to suspend attacks on nearby states unless strikes on Iran originated from their territory.
