President Donald Trump announced that Iran violated the nuclear deal and subsequently launched strikes, according to Abu Ali Express. The report raises the question: will Iran retaliate as it has long threatened?
President Donald Trump announced a violation by Iran of the nuclear deal and then carried out strikes, according to a brief report by Abu Ali Express on Saturday morning. The report frames the sequence as a deliberate escalation — Trump declaring the breach, then striking — and poses the open question: "What will the Iranians do?"
As The Zioneer has reported in recent days, Trump has maintained a pattern of warning Iran over ceasefire and nuclear deal violations, and repeatedly threatened military action if Tehran did not comply (June 26: Trump to a journalist — "You'll find out" if Iran faces consequences for violating the ceasefire). On June 10, the president confirmed heavy strikes on Iran and vowed continued military action.
Tehran has consistently warned of a "fitting response" to any American aggression. Iran's Tasnim news agency cited an informed source on June 11 saying every U.S. strike would be met with a military response. At this stage, no Iranian retaliation has been reported.
