TEHRAN (Reuters): President Donald Trump stated late Friday that the United States had no role in the Israeli military strikes on Iran, but issued a stark warning to Tehran against any retaliation.
“The US had nothing to do with the attack on Iran tonight,” Donald Trump said on his social media platform Truth.
“If we are attacked in any way, shape, or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the US Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before.”

Iran fires new barrage of missiles at Israel
The escalation between Iran nd Israel entered tits hird day as both the nations are trading deadly strikes on each others’ cities.
On Saturday night, Iran launched a barrage of missiles at Israel as part of its retaliatory attacks on Israel.
In the continuation of its retaliatory attacks on the criminal regime of Israel, Iran launched a massive missile attack targeting the occupied territories.
Following the missile launch, sirens were activated in northern parts of occupied Palestine.
Reports suggest that big explosions rocked Haifa upon the impact of Iran’s hypersonic and ballistic missiles.
The Israeli military confirmed that Iranian missiles struck parts of northern Israel, with Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claiming responsibility for the latest barrage. Tehran stated that cities including Haifa and Tel Aviv were targeted using Kheibar, Badr, and Emad missiles.
Israeli army says it struck an underground missile facility in western Iran
The Israeli military said in its latest strikes, it struck an underground facility Saturday in western Iran’s Khorramabad that contained surface-to-surface and cruise missiles.
“This is an important site that was even featured in a propaganda video by the Iranian regime in the past,” military spokesman Brigadier General Effie Defrin told journalists.
He was likely referring to footage aired by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards earlier this year showing what it described as a new underground missile facility.
“It was struck and the senior officials associated with it have also been eliminated,” Defrin said, adding that “dozens of other such sites have also been destroyed”.
The military said the site contained “storage tunnels for surface-to-surface missiles and cruise missiles as well as multiple launch shafts”.
Iranian media reported strikes on Lorestan province, where Khorramabad is located, on Saturday.
