President Donald Trump launched a fresh verbal attack on Iran, calling the regime 'evil people' and a 'cancer that must be cut off,' and accusing Tehran of shooting at ships instead of engaging in negotiations, according to a statement attributed to him.
President Donald Trump escalated his rhetorical offensive against Iran on Wednesday morning, accusing Tehran of shooting at ships rather than engaging in negotiations. The statement, attributed to Trump, came at 11:13 Jerusalem, minutes after The Zioneer reported two earlier tirades — at 11:09 Jerusalem — in which Trump called Iranians "scum," "evil," and "impotent," and said he hates them. The new accusation adds a concrete allegation to the stream of insults.
At 11:09 Jerusalem, The Zioneer published two separate reports: first, Trump calling Iranians "a bunch of scum" and accusing them of wanting to assassinate him, urging elimination of a "cancer"; then, a second statement in which Trump said he hates Iranians, called them "evil" and "impotent" for not making a deal, and reiterated that Iran must not be allowed nuclear weapons. Both reports were attributed to Israeli media sources. The language has escalated over the morning, moving from general insults to a specific accusation of hostile maritime actions.
The Zioneer has previously reported on Trump's sustained hardline posture toward Iran. On June 10, he warned of "hard" daily strikes; on June 20, he said Iran wants to be friends after U.S. military defeat; on June 21, he threatened to strike Iran again if it does not halt its proxies in Lebanon. The administration continues to maintain a maritime blockade and conduct strikes against Iranian-linked targets.
The latest statement did not cite a specific naval incident, and it remains unclear whether the reference to "shooting at ships" relates to recent activity in the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz, or elsewhere. The claim is unverified, and no independent confirmation has been reported.
