Iran warned against renewed attacks. "If the aggression against Iran is repeated, the promised regional war this time will go beyond the borders of the region," the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran said in a statement.
Trump reaffirmed his determination not to allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons. "We are in the final stages of Iran's development. We'll see what happens.
