TL;DR

01 · THE DISPATCH

President Trump escalated his verbal attacks on Iran on Wednesday, reportedly stating that the US 'hit them 20 times more than before tonight' and calling Iranians 'scum' and saying 'I hate them.' The remark adds a new level of vulgarity to his ongoing rhetoric against Tehran.

The Zioneer reported earlier today that Trump attacked Iran in similar terms, stating 'We hit them hard tonight — 20 times.' The new report appears to provide a more complete quote, including the vitriolic language. The timing of the statements coincides with heightened US-Iran tensions, with Trump having previously threatened to destroy Iran's infrastructure and expressed a preference for a deal.

The source of the latest report is a single curated channel, and the quote has not been independently verified. However, the pattern of Trump's remarks is consistent with his recent public statements.
