US President Donald Trump said on Saturday, without giving further details, that “many” Iranian military commanders were killed during a large-scale attack on the Iranian capital, Tehran. TASR informs about it according to the report of the AFP agency. “Many of the Iranian military leaders who led them badly and unwisely are killed by this massive attack in Tehran, along with many others!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
- Trump says the attack in Tehran hit Iranian commanders and others.
- The war in the Middle East began on February 28 with the US-Israeli attacks on Iran.
The post also included a video that allegedly shows explosions lighting up Tehran at night, but Trump did not specify when the military intervention in the Iranian capital took place. The Sky News station also pointed out that it was not immediately possible to verify the video footage, and it was not clear when or where the footage was captured. The war in the Middle East began with US-Israeli attacks on Iran on February 28, which triggered retaliation by Tehran against targets in Israel and the Persian Gulf countries.
Earlier on Saturday, Trump also warned Iran on his Truth Social platform that Washington would unleash “hell” on the country if it does not conclude a peace deal with the United States within 48 hours. In response, the Central Command of the Iranian Armed Forces rejected Trump’s threats and ultimatum, calling it a “hopeless, nervous, unbalanced and stupid step.”
