President Donald Trump issued harsh remarks via social media on the 13th, stating that the United States is completely destroying the terrorist regime of Iran militarily, economically, and in every other way.
Writing on Truth Social, the president claimed that while reports might suggest otherwise, Iran’s navy has vanished and its air force no longer exists. He asserted that everything from missiles to drones has been obliterated, and their leaders have been wiped off the face of the Earth.
The president continued by stating that the United States possesses unparalleled firepower and unlimited ammunition. He cautioned observers to watch what happens to the regime, which he described as deranged.
Trump links actions to 47th presidency
The president further claimed that Iran has been responsible for the deaths of innocent people worldwide for the past 47 years.
He noted that as the 47th president of the United States, he is now eliminating them, describing the task as a great honor.
These statements come amid a period of intense military activity and heightening rhetoric between Washington and Tehran, following recent escalations in the region.
Iran supreme leader vows retaliation
Earlier, Mojtaba Khamenei, newly elected as the supreme leader of Iran, issued his first official statement via state television. He vowed to continue retaliation efforts against both the United States and Israel.
He stated that the regime must continue using the Strait of Hormuz blockade as a lever to pressure its enemies. This maritime corridor is a vital passage for global energy supplies.
The supreme leader also announced that a review of forming a second front has concluded. He claimed this front would target vulnerabilities the enemy has not previously experienced and would be activated depending on the war situation and national interests.
Warning to neighboring Gulf countries
The Iranian leader also addressed neighboring Gulf nations, stating that the regime had only struck United States military bases during its operations.
He urged these countries to close any bases that provided aid to those who killed Iranian people as soon as possible.
The situation remains volatile as both nations signal their readiness for further confrontation, with the international community closely monitoring the potential impact on regional stability and global trade.
