March 7 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump said Iran would ​be “hit very hard” ‌on Saturday and that he was considering widening the areas and groups ‌of ​people being, ⁠targeted, without providing ⁠details.

“Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration ​for complete destruction and certain death, ⁠because of ⁠Iran’s bad behavior, ​are areas and groups ​of people that were not ‌considered for targeting up until this moment in time” ⁠Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

He also ⁠noted ‌that Iran had ⁠apologised to its ​neighbours ‌for its strikes ​against them, ⁠which he cast as a surrender.
