Operation Rising Lion – Trump Issues Stark Warning to Iran: U.S. Will Respond with Unmatched Force, U.S. President Donald Trump Vows “Unprecedented” Military Retaliation if Iran Attacks, Following Israeli Strikes on Iran’s Nuclear Sites
U.S. President Donald Trump issued a stern warning to Iran today, stating that any attack on the United States would be met with “the full strength and might of the U.S. Armed Forces at levels never seen before.” His statement comes after Israel launched Operation Rising Lion – a series of airstrikes targeting Iran’s Defence Ministry headquarters and nuclear facilities, triggering a rapid escalation of tensions between the two countries.
Trump Denies U.S. Involvement in Israeli Operation Rising Lion
In a post on Truth Social, President Trump clarified that the U.S. had no involvement in Israel’s Operation Rising Lion on Iran, emphasising that the attack was solely carried out by the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF). However, he was quick to issue a grave warning in the event of any Iranian aggression toward the U.S.:
“If we are attacked in any way, shape, or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the U.S. Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before.”
Trump also expressed confidence that he could broker a peace deal between Iran and Israel, despite the ongoing conflict:
“We can easily get a deal done and end this bloody conflict,” he stated, suggesting that diplomatic negotiations could quickly de-escalate the situation.
Israel’s Operation Rising Lion and Iran’s Retaliation
Earlier this week, the IDF confirmed it had launched an extensive series of airstrikes against key Iranian targets, including the SPND nuclear facility and Iran’s hidden nuclear archive, which are suspected to be part of Iran’s covert nuclear weapons program. Israeli officials claimed that the operation, dubbed “Operation Rising Lion,” was necessary to protect Israel from what they deemed an existential threat posed by Iran’s advancing nuclear ambitions.
In retaliation, Iran launched multiple missile and drone strikes on Israeli infrastructure, including energy facilities and fuel production sites for fighter jets. Air raid sirens were triggered across major cities like Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, as the conflict reached new heights.
The toll in Israel has been significant, with reports indicating at least seven fatalities, including a 10-year-old child and a young woman in her 20s. The Iranian Revolutionary Guards claimed responsibility for the strikes, further inflaming tensions in the region.

Middle East on the Brink
The situation has become increasingly volatile, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defending the Operation Rising Lion on Iran, vowing that Israel’s operations would continue “for as many days as it takes to remove this threat.” Netanyahu stated that the Israeli airstrikes had set back Iran’s nuclear program by years and warned that Iran’s leaders had only experienced a fraction of Israel’s military capabilities.
“What they have felt so far is nothing compared with what they will be handed in the coming days,” Netanyahu declared.
Meanwhile, the scheduled round of U.S.-Iran nuclear talks in Oman was abruptly cancelled, deepening the diplomatic crisis. These talks had been seen as a potential breakthrough in the strained relationship between the two nations, but the cancellation now leaves the future of nuclear negotiations uncertain.
Diplomatic Fallout and the Nuclear Deal
Before the talks were called off, Trump had previously urged Iran to reach a deal on its nuclear program, warning that time was running out for Tehran to negotiate a peaceful resolution. In a statement, Trump warned:
“Iran must make a deal before there is nothing left.”
As the military and diplomatic fallout continues, global leaders have expressed concerns about the potential for the conflict, Operation Rising Lion, to spiral into a broader regional war. Calls for de-escalation have come from around the world, as the Middle East remains on edge.
