President Donald Trump on Monday said Iran gave the United States notice prior to shooting missiles at its military base in Qatar, which he said made it possible for no lives to be lost.
"I am pleased to report that NO Americans were harmed, and hardly any damage was done. Most importantly, they’ve gotten it all out of their 'system,' and there will, hopefully, be no further HATE," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
"Perhaps Iran can now proceed to Peace and Harmony in the Region, and I will enthusiastically encourage Israel to do the same," Trump added
While seeming, through such notice, to be signaling it may be in search of an off ramp from its conflict with Israel and now the U.S., Iran has also issued a statement saying it is intent on further retaliation for American strikes against nuclear development sites over the weekend.
In a statement on X, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said this: "WE DIDN'T AGGRESS ANYONE. AND WE WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY AGGRESSION FROM ANYONE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES."
