President Trump warned that Iran will be "totally wiped out as a country" if it retaliates a third time following US strikes, saying any response would be "hit much harder" than before. The remarks confirm direct US military involvement against Iran alongside Israel's ongoing campaign, marking a significant escalation with the potential to draw the wider region into open conflict. Such a documented threat of full-scale US intervention against Iran represents a material shift beyond routine Israel-Iran hostilities toward the kind of broader regional war repeatedly described in end-times watchfulness.
