As the conflict in the Middle East entered day 8, US President Donald Trump on Saturday (March 7) claimed that Iran had surrendered and apologised to neighbouring countries in the region.

In a social media post, Trump said Tehran had promised not to attack Gulf nations after what he described as “relentless” military pressure from the United States and Israel.

“Iran, which is being beat to HELL, has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors, and promised that it will not shoot at them anymore. This promise was only made because of the relentless U.S. and Israeli attack. They were looking to take over and rule the Middle East. It is the first time that Iran has ever lost, in thousands of years, to surrounding Middle Eastern Countries.”
