‘We are totally destroying terrorist regime’: Trump issues ‘watch what happens today ‘warning – The Times of India

In the middle of the Middle East chaos, US President Donald Trump on Friday struck yet another strong tone against the hostile Iran regime and invoked a near-declaratory warning against what he called “deranged scumbags”. Referring to the American military’s massive operation against the Islamic Republic, he said Washington is carrying out strikes to “destroy the terrorist regime of Iran” militarily, economically and otherwise, while also taking a sharp jibe at the “failing” New York Times reports on war.Projecting confidence in the US military’s “unparalleled” prowess and claiming sweeping success in the campaign against Tehran’s establishment, Donald Trump took to Truth Social to deliver a characteristically blunt message. In the post, he declared: “We are totally destroying the terrorist regime of Iran, militarily, economically, and otherwise, yet, if you read the Failing New York Times, you would incorrectly think that we are not winning.” Taking a jab at The New York Times, he added that Iran’s “Navy is gone, their Air Force is no longer,” while its missiles, drones and other capabilities were being steadily “decimated,” with key leaders “wiped from the face of the earth.”

Striking a triumphant tone while praising the American military, Trump also issued a stark warning to Iran’s power centres, hinting at possible further action under the country’s new Khamenei leadership. “We have unparalleled firepower, unlimited ammunition, and plenty of time — watch what happens to these deranged scumbags today,” he wrote. He added: “They’ve been killing innocent people all over the world for 47 years, and now I, as the 47th President of the United States of America, am killing them. What a great honour it is to do so!”Meanwhile, reports emerging from the ongoing Middle East conflict suggest that Iran may have attempted to strike the US aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln. Tehran has also claimed responsibility for downing another US jet during a refuelling mission, though Washington has described the incident as an accident. Trump, who has long maintained a hardline stance against Iran, used the moment to double down on his warning to the Islamic Republic’s leadership.
