Amid Middle East chaos, U.S. president Donald Trump On Friday, he renewed his strong voice against the hostile Iranian regime and issued a near-declaratory warning against what he called “crazy scumbags.” Referring to the massive U.S. military campaign against the Islamic Republic, he said Washington was carrying out strikes to “destroy Iran’s terrorist regime” militarily, economically and otherwise, while also sharply deriding The New York Times’ “failed” reporting on the war.Confident in the “unparalleled” strength of the US military and claiming great success in his campaign against Tehran’s establishment, Donald Trump delivered a typically forthright message on The Truth Society. “We are in the process of utterly destroying Iran’s terrorist regime militarily, economically and otherwise, yet if you read The Failed New York Times, you would mistakenly believe we are not winning,” he declared in the post. He lashed out at the New York Times, adding that Iran’s “navy is gone and its air force no longer exists,” while its missiles, drones and other capabilities are steadily “diminishing” and its key leaders are “disappearing from the face of the earth.”
