US president says Tehran apologised to Gulf nations amid escalating Middle East conflict
March 7, 2026: As the conflict in the Middle East entered its eighth day, Donald Trump, President of the United States, claimed on Saturday that Iran had effectively surrendered and apologised to neighbouring countries. The statement came as tensions continued to rise across the region following ongoing military exchanges.
In a post on social media, Trump said Tehran had promised not to launch attacks on Gulf nations after facing what he described as “relentless” military pressure from the United States and Israel. According to Trump, the pressure campaign forced Iran to reconsider its actions toward countries in the region.
The claim comes amid the continuing escalation of the conflict, with several Middle Eastern nations on high alert due to missile and drone attacks linked to the war. The situation remains volatile as diplomatic efforts and military operations continue to shape the rapidly evolving crisis.
