Tehran suffered from massive explosions last night as Donald Trump promised the world the war would end ‘very soon’ and claimed the US has ‘already won’.
This comes after Trump had earlier insisted war in the Middle East was ‘pretty much’ over and claimed the operation launched 10 days ago was ‘very far’ ahead of schedule.
The U.S. President even described the massive US and Israeli onslaught as a ‘short-term excursion’ which will be ‘finished pretty quickly’.
But further remarks betrayed Mr Trump’s willingness to keep the war with Iran going, as he added: ‘We’ve already won in many ways but we haven’t won enough…we’re going to go further.’
He said: ‘We could call it a tremendous success right now… or we could go further, and we’re going to go further. We will not relent until the enemy is totally and decisively defeated.’
A reporter said Trump on the vacillating messaging on the future of the war, pointing out: ‘You said the war is “very complete.”
But your defense secretary says “this is just the beginning.” So which is it?’ The president replied with: ‘You could say both.’
Trump followed up on Monday night by warning Iran would face ‘Death, Fire, and Fury’ if they close off the Straight of Hormuz.
‘If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far,’ he said in a Truth Social post.’
Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again — Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them — But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen!’
