Trump on Saturday posts "Today Iran will be hit very hard!’.

Investing.com - U.S. President Donald Trump said Saturday that Iran would be hit very hard and that the administration was considering expanding the scope of potential military targets beyond those previously identified.

Trump posted on Truth Social that areas and groups of people not previously considered for targeting were now under serious consideration for complete destruction. He did not provide details on the specific locations or entities being evaluated.

The president described the potential expanded targeting as a response to what he characterized as Iran’s bad behavior. He said the targets under consideration faced certain death if selected for strikes.

Trump also said Iran had apologized to its neighbors for strikes against them. He framed the apology as a surrender by the Iranian government.

The statement came as tensions between the United States and Iran remained elevated. Trump did not specify a timeline for any potential military action or provide additional context on recent Iranian activities prompting his remarks.
