Heavy, pinpoint bombing will continue uninterrupted in Iran — Trump
United States President, Donald Trump, has declared that heavy and “pinpoint” bombing in Iran will continue uninterrupted as part of what he described as efforts to achieve peace in the Middle East.
Trump made this known in a strongly worded statement on Truth Social on Saturday, in which he confirmed the death of Ali Khamenei, describing it as a turning point for Iran and its people.
According to the US president, the bombing campaign would persist “throughout the week or, as long as necessary,” stressing that the objective was “peace throughout the Middle East and, indeed, the world.”
Trump said the operation was carried out using advanced intelligence and tracking systems, adding that the United States worked closely with Israel during the mission.
He claimed that the development presents what he called the “single greatest chance” for the Iranian people to reclaim their country, alleging that some members of Iran’s security forces were reconsidering their positions.
The president also stated that Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), military, police and other security personnel willing to lay down their arms could be granted immunity, urging them to align with what he referred to as Iranian patriots.
The statement reads partly, “This is the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their Country. We are hearing that many of their IRGC, Military, and other Security and Police Forces, no longer want to fight, and are looking for Immunity from us.
“As I said last night, “Now they can have Immunity, later they only get Death!” Hopefully, the IRGC and Police will peacefully merge with the Iranian Patriots, and work together as a unit to bring back the Country to the Greatness it deserves.
“That process should soon be starting in that, not only the death of Khamenei but the Country has been, in only one day, very much destroyed and, even, obliterated. The heavy and pinpoint bombing, however, will continue, uninterrupted throughout the week or, as long as necessary to achieve our objective of PEACE THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE EAST AND, INDEED, THE WORLD!”
The development followed coordinated military action by the United States and Israel, marking a sharp escalation in tensions with Iran.
Tribune Online reports that the first apparent strike occurred near offices linked to Khamenei, as explosions were reported across several cities and smoke rose above the capital, Tehran.
Iranian state media confirmed attacks nationwide, while authorities shut down airspace and disrupted mobile phone services as additional blasts echoed across the city.
Trump had earlier confirmed the operation in a video posted on social media, declaring that Washington had begun “major combat operations in Iran.” He accused Tehran of continuing nuclear development and pursuing missile capabilities that could eventually threaten the United States.
He also appealed directly to Iranian citizens, urging them to “take over your government,” while acknowledging the possibility of American casualties, stating that such outcomes “often happen in war.”
