United States President Donald Trump said this Saturday (4) that Iran’s military leaders were “eliminated” in a ‘massive’ attack on Tehran. The statement was published at 5:37 pm (Brasília time) on the social network Truth Social and was accompanied by a video with images of attacks.
In the message, Trump wrote that “many of Iran’s military leaders, who led them poorly and recklessly, were eliminated, along with many more, with this massive attack on Tehran.”
The publication comes hours after the president toughened his tone against the country by setting a deadline for an agreement involving the Strait of Hormuz. In another message released this Saturday morning (4), Trump stated that he had 48 hours “before hell breaks down on them”, in reference to Iran.
The ultimatum is related to negotiations for the reopening of the sea route, considered strategic for global oil transport. Since the end of February, the strait has remained closed amid the conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran.
