Trump says he may 'blow up' Iran
Trump says he may 'blow up' Iran US President Donald Trump said in response to a question about a deal with Iran that maybe the US will "blow them up". “Maybe you blow them up. You have to make that decision. We blow them up, we make a deal, but the time is coming,” he told reporters in the Oval Office. “It will end very soon one way or the other,” Trump added.
President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that all American troops had departed Iraq, announcing the conclusion of the lengthy US mission against the Daesh (Islamic State) group. He described the withdrawal from Erbil Air Base as a "victory for the United States" and "a decisive victory over ISIS," stating it was concluding under his leadership.
At the White House and in posts on Truth Social, Trump predicted that the separate conflict with Iran would conclude "very soon." He emphasized that he had opted to "go home" rather than prolong the mission. US Central Command confirmed an orderly departure of American forces from northern Iraq. President Trump's statement about the impending end of the war with Iran was met with skepticism, as he offered no specific timeline or details.
Critics noted the discrepancy between Trump's optimistic tone and the ongoing US combat operations and casualties in the Iran war.
