United States aircraft just struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations, and coastal radar sites, for violating the Cease Fire Agreement, AGAIN! Trump wrote on Truth Social. It is very possible that they will never learn! There may come a point when we are no longer able to be reasonable, and will be forced to militarily complete the job that we very successfully started. If that happens, the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist!
The threat against Iran s existence echoes past warnings Trump made earlier this year while attempting to get Iran to the negotiating table. In April, the president issued the ominous threat that Iran s whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.
When asked about the threat days later, he said he was fine with it. Democratic lawmakers fumed over the initial post, calling it pure evil while others accused the president of threatening war crimes and genocide, and demanded that he be removed from office.
