President Trump warns that Iran will be hit very hard today.
As NPR's Franco Ordonios reports,
Trump says Iran's days of fomenting violence in the region are over.
Trump says areas and groups of people in Iran not targeted before are now under consideration for,
quote, complete destruction and certain death for Iran's past bad behavior.
Trump boasted on social media that Iran has apologized and surrendered to its neighbors after the Iranian president announced they will stop striking nearby countries unless they assist with attacks on Iran.
Trump suggested Iran was backing off because of the relentless US and Israeli attacks.
He writes, quote, Iran is no longer the bully of the Middle East.
They are instead the loser of the Middle East and will be for many decades unless they surrender.
