Former U.S. President Donald Trump issued a warning to Iran, stating that any attack on American troops in the Middle East would prompt an immediate and harsh response. According to him, the United States will not tolerate threats against its forces and is ready to take decisive action if any harm is attempted. The statement comes amid ongoing regional tensions and reports of potential military escalation.

Trump emphasized that any hostile acts against American facilities or personnel would be seen as a direct violation of international norms and U.S. sovereignty. He declared that Tehran should “soberly assess the consequences” and avoid provocations that could trigger a large-scale response. He added that the U.S. administration remains fully prepared to defend its interests and those of its allies.

Amid rising tensions, the Pentagon is enhancing defense measures at American military installations in the Persian Gulf region and beyond. Additional air defense systems are being deployed, and airspace surveillance is being intensified. Simultaneously, military and intelligence coordination with allies has been stepped up.

Trump’s statement follows a series of warnings from U.S. officials about the inadmissibility of attacks on American forces. Washington reiterates that regional stability depends on restraint from all sides, but the safety of American personnel remains an absolute priority. Any threat to military personnel will be treated as grounds for immediate retaliatory action.

Earlier, Iranian officials asserted their right to self-defense in the event of continued attacks on their territory and did not rule out asymmetric responses. Against this backdrop, Trump’s remarks are viewed as a signal of extreme readiness to escalate if American interests come under threat. Diplomatic consultations with regional partners are underway to coordinate potential response scenarios.

In the coming days, further statements are expected from the U.S. State Department and Department of Defense to clarify Washington’s position amid the evolving situation in the Middle East. International observers assess the situation as highly tense, requiring active efforts to prevent direct confrontation between the parties.
