With a harsh post, the president of , , sets the tone for the US position on his issue, after the latest developments, the downing of the Apache and the exchange of blows between the American forces and the Iranians. The American president in his post on Truth Social after first repeating his well-known assessment that Iran’s armed forces are broken, then asserted that the “bully of the Middle East is dead” (probably referring to the former Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei) and also emphasized that Iran will have to pay the price (without saying what it will be) because they were late to negotiate.
As he specifically wrote: “Iran’s military is in complete and utter chaos. Much of it, like its Navy and Air Force, doesn’t even exist anymore — they’ve been completely defeated. Iran is all talk and no action. Middle East bully is DEAD!!! They have taken too long to negotiate a deal that would have been great for them; now they will have to pay the price!!! — President DONALD J. TRUMP”
According to a report by Fox News, Donald Trump claimed that he is very close to making a decision to order new strikes against Iran, specifically against energy plants and bridges. The reason he gave is that Tehran is taking too long to sign an agreement. According to other information, however, a team of Qatari negotiators went to Tehran today with the aim of immediately signing an agreement between the US and Iran in order to avoid an uncontrolled escalation.
