In a new Fox News interview, President Trump described Iranian-backed militias in Iraq as 'the cancer of the world' and said he is considering additional warnings, as reported by Abu Ali Express. Trump also said the US will attack Iran in response to the surprise attack on American forces in Jordan, noting that US forces had only minutes to intercept the Iranian missiles. He praised his meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu and said the US will let the Iranians continue talking.
In a new Fox News interview, President Donald Trump escalated his rhetoric against Iran, calling Iranian-backed militias in Iraq 'the cancer of the world' and stating he is considering issuing additional warnings, according to a report by Abu Ali Express. Trump also detailed the surprise attack on American forces in Jordan, noting that US forces had only minutes to intercept the Iranian missiles. He praised his meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as 'excellent' and added that the US will 'let the Iranians continue talking.'
The Zioneer first reported at 15:19 Jerusalem that Trump vowed to strike Iran hard in response to the Jordan attack. Throughout the following minutes, a series of updates from the same Fox interview added escalating language: Trump said the US would 'dismantle Iran's shape,' 'hit them hard,' and 'tear them apart,' with each version citing the Jordan attack as the trigger. The new remarks add the 'cancer of the world' label and a more detailed description of the attack, including the narrow window for interception. The account was corroborated by multiple Israeli media outlets, including N12 and Abu Ali Express.
As The Zioneer reported on Monday, July 6, Trump threatened to destroy Iran's power plants within hours, while simultaneously expressing a preference for a diplomatic resolution. On June 10, he signaled plans to expand strikes to power plants and bridges. US officials have indicated that Trump has not abandoned diplomacy, with talks ongoing via Qatari mediators, as The Zioneer reported on June 11. The new interview continues this pattern of combining aggressive threats with openness to dialogue.
It remains unclear whether the interview signals imminent military action or further rhetorical escalation. Trump's statement that the US will 'let the Iranians continue talking' suggests diplomatic channels remain open, but his characterization of the militias as 'cancer of the world' and the detailed description of the Jordan attack indicate a hardened stance. The timing and scope of any potential strike have not been specified.
