‘We are totally destroying the regime of terror’: Trump warns ‘Look what happens today’

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.”

While praising U.S. troops, Trump struck a triumphant tone and issued a stern warning to Iran’s center of power, hinting at the possibility of further action under the country’s new leadership of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. “We have unmatched firepower, unlimited ammunition and plenty of time – look what will happen to these crazy scumbags today,” he wrote. He added: “For 47 years they have been killing innocent people around the world, and now I, as the 47th President of the United States of America, am killing them. What an honor to be able to do that!”Meanwhile, reports from the ongoing Middle East conflict indicate that Iran may attempt to attack the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier. Tehran also claimed responsibility for shooting down another U.S. plane during a refueling mission, although Washington called the incident an accident. Trump, who has long maintained a tough stance on Iran, used the opportunity to step up his warnings to the leadership of the Islamic Republic.
