“Watch what will happen today to these crazy criminals.” That is the threat Donald Trump posted on the social platform Truth directed at Iran, as the conflict initiated by the United States and Israel approaches the two-week mark. “We are completely destroying the terrorist regime of Iran militarily, economically and on every other level. Yet, if you read the failing New York Times, you would mistakenly think we are not winning,” the U.S. president said, criticizing the New York newspaper’s analysis.

He went on to list what he described as the results of Operation Epic Fury: “The Iranian Navy has been annihilated, their Air Force no longer exists. Missiles, drones and everything else are being decimated, and their leaders have been wiped off the face of the Earth.” He added: “We have unmatched firepower, unlimited ammunition and all the time we need: watch what will happen today to these crazy criminals. They have killed innocent people around the world for 47 years, and now I, as the 47th President of the United States of America, am killing them. What a great honor to be able to do it!”
