Trump: “Never Apologize” for Iran Strikes as Middle East Violence Escalates

US President Donald Trump said yesterday he would “never apologize” for taking military action against Iran, arguing that higher gas prices are a necessary cost in his effort to prevent Tehran from building a nuclear weapon. Trump’s remarks come as Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said earlier today that Tehran has not yet decided on its next steps. The comments follow a new wave of regional violence. In Lebanon, Israeli strikes killed nine people, according to local reports. Meanwhile, Houthi attacks continued in Yemen, adding to the instability across the Middle East. The situation remains fluid, with no clear sign of de-escalation.
