President Donald Trump said Operation Midnight Hammer achieved “a complete and total obliteration of the Nuclear Dust sites in Iran,” adding that the cleanup process “will be a long and difficult process.” He criticized CNN and other media outlets for failing to credit US aviators involved in the operation.
US President Donald Trump said Iran’s actions have forced hundreds of ships toward the United States to load oil, primarily in Texas, Louisiana, and Alaska, adding “thank you very much.”
US President Donald Trump said the war is going well and the US military “has been amazing,” while accusing the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post of making it appear the US is losing.
He said Iran’s navy has been “completely wiped out,” its air force destroyed, its air defense eliminated, and its former leaders “mostly gone,” describing the situation as regime change.
Trump said the blockade “is absolutely destroying Iran,” costing them “$500 Million Dollars a day, an unsustainable number,” and vowed it will not be lifted until a deal is reached. He accused the media of “rooting for Iran to win” but said “it’s not going to happen, because I’m in charge.”
US President Donald Trump pushed back against criticism of the timeline of the Iran conflict, comparing it to previous US wars that lasted years or decades, including World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq.
He said from a military standpoint, the operation was completed faster than expected but that he would not “let them rush the United States into making a Deal that is not as good as it could have been.”
Trump denied being under pressure, saying “time is not my adversary” and that the only priority is to “finally, after 47 years, straighten out the MESS that other Presidents let happen.”
He accused Democrats of being “TRAITORS ALL” who talked about the dangers of Iran for years but now “belittle the accomplishments of our Military” because he is acting on it.
He compared the operation to Venezuela, calling it “a bigger, more complex operation” but predicted the same result.
Trump said he built “the Greatest Military our Country has ever seen” in his first term and is now “properly and judiciously using our Military to solve problems left to us by others.”
US President Donald Trump said the deal being negotiated with Iran will be “FAR BETTER” than the JCPOA, which he called “one of the Worst Deals ever made” and “a guaranteed Road to a Nuclear Weapon.” He criticized the Obama administration for sending “$1.7 Billion Dollars in ‘GREEN’ Cash, loaded into a Boeing 757, and flown to Iran” and claimed hundreds of billions more were paid to Tehran.
Trump said if he had not terminated the JCPOA, “Nuclear Weapons would have been used on Israel, and all over the Middle East, including our cherished U.S. Military Bases.” He criticized Washington Post journalist David Ignatius for defending the deal, calling it “DANGEROUS, and a Complete Embarrassment.”
He said a deal under his presidency “will guarantee Peace, Security, and Safety, not only for Israel and the Middle East, but for Europe, America, and everywhere else,” adding it would replace “years of Embarrassment and Humiliation” caused by what he called “incompetent and cowardly leadership.”
US President Donald Trump denied that Israel influenced his decision to go to war with Iran, saying it was driven by the aftermath of October 7 and his longstanding belief that “IRAN CAN NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON.”
He criticised media coverage and polls as “lies and made up stories,” and compared the situation to what he called the results in Venezuela.
Trump referenced regime change in Iran and said if its new leaders “are smart, Iran can have a great and prosperous future.”
