President Donald Trump said in a statement Wednesday evening that Americans are not opposed to war and that Iran will pay a heavy price, according to ynet. The remark follows his earlier comments at a ceremony honoring fallen US soldiers, where he made a similar pledge.
President Donald Trump issued a new statement Wednesday evening, saying that 'Americans are not opposed to war' and that 'Iran will pay a heavy price,' as reported by ynet. The statement comes minutes after Trump spoke at a ceremony honoring the coffins of US soldiers killed in the Middle East, where he made the same pledge — 'Iran will pay a heavy price' — as The Zioneer reported at 17:01 Jerusalem.
The latest remark continues a pattern of escalating rhetoric from the White House toward Tehran. Over the past weeks, Trump has declared an end to the ceasefire with Iran, vowed 'very heavy' strikes, and said the US is 'not finished at all' with Iran. The administration has also warned that any killing of US soldiers by Iran would draw a severe response.
It remains unclear whether the statement signals an imminent military action or is part of a broader diplomatic pressure campaign. No further details were provided by the White House. The claim rests on a single report from ynet, and has not been independently corroborated by other outlets at this time.
