US President Donald Trump launched a sharp verbal attack on Iran, saying that while the US allowed them to 'conduct their funeral affairs,' they shot rockets and attacked ships. 'We hit them very hard tonight — 20 times,' Trump said, adding that every time Iran hits, the US will hit back. He called the Iranians 'scum.' The remarks were reported Wednesday.
The Zioneer has previously reported on Trump's escalating military campaign against Iran, including multiple waves of US strikes on Iranian missile depots and radar sites, as well as his warnings of 'hard daily strikes.' The latest remarks, reported Wednesday, represent one of Trump's most aggressive verbal attacks on Tehran, using vulgar language and threatening a disproportionate response. The statement comes as the US continues its military operations in the region, with Trump having previously warned that Iran 'will not continue to exist' if the US is forced to complete its mission. The remarks were not immediately confirmed by official US channels.
