Trump Warns Iran Over Lebanon Proxies, Threatens Strikes
US President Donald Trump has issued a fresh warning to Iran, demanding that Tehran immediately restrain its Lebanon-based proxy groups. In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated that if Iran fails to stop its “highly paid proxies” from causing unrest, the United States would respond with military action “very hard again,” and potentially with greater force than previous strikes.
The statement comes amid escalating regional tensions involving Iran-backed groups in Lebanon and ongoing diplomatic efforts aimed at easing conflict in the Middle East. Trump's remarks underscore Washington’s hardline stance toward Tehran and signal the possibility of further military escalation if proxy-related activities continue.
