Iran threatened to hit back harder than ever before
Trump issued warning on Truth Social
Bitcoin prices fell below $64,000 after the attack
📖 Full Retelling
U.S. President Donald Trump warned Iran on March 1, 2026, that the United States would respond with unprecedented force should the Middle Eastern nation retaliate against recent American strikes, after Iran threatened to hit back harder than ever before. Trump issued the stark warning through a post on Truth Social, his social media platform, directly responding to Iranian claims that they would strike 'very hard today, harder than they have ever been hit before.' The president's message was unequivocal: 'THEY BETTER NOT DO THAT, HOWEVER, BECAUSE IF THEY DO, WE WILL HIT THEM WITH A FORCE THAT HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE!' The escalating tensions come amid reports of joint U.S. and Israeli strikes against Iranian targets, which have already begun to impact global markets with Bitcoin prices falling below $64,000. Military analysts suggest that while the immediate market reaction may be temporary, the potential for broader regional instability remains significant as both sides exchange increasingly aggressive rhetoric.
