On June 11, US President Trump said US forces would hit Iran "very hard" that night, then said he called off the operation. US forces had struck multiple locations in Iran over the previous two days. Ebrahim Azizi, chairman of the Islamic parliament’s National Security Committee, told media on June 11 the exchanges should not be viewed as war but as US high-pressure measures aimed at securing objectives.
