President Donald Trump said Iran discovered the planned US attack through leaks, and that the operation would have been devastating, leaving 'not much' in Iran. He also reiterated his threat to 'behead' the Iranian regime, telling Israeli media N12 that he wants to give Tehran 'another chance' before doing so. The statements follow earlier remarks tonight in which Trump warned that the ongoing talks are Iran's last chance.
President Donald Trump made a series of rapid statements regarding Iran on Monday evening. In an interview with Israeli news outlet N12, Trump claimed that Iran learned of the planned US attack through leaks, and that the operation would have been devastating, leaving 'not much' in Iran. He also reiterated his threat to 'behead' the Iranian regime, stating that he wants to give Tehran 'another chance' before doing so. The remarks follow earlier statements tonight in which Trump warned that the ongoing talks are Iran's last chance.
The Zioneer reported at 21:25 Jerusalem that Trump had said the bombing campaign would have continued for a long time and that Iran learned of the attack via leaks. Minutes later, at 21:26 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported based on Amichai Stein (i24NEWS) that Trump said he wants to give Iran a 'last chance' before 'beheading.' The N12 interview, now reported, provides a corroborating version of the beheading threat from a second Israeli media outlet and adds the 'another chance' language.
The statements are the latest in an escalating series of threats from Trump against Iran in recent weeks, which have included claims that the US has degraded Iran's missile stockpile to 22% of pre-war levels, warnings of sustained strikes, and ultimatums for a nuclear deal or forceful uranium seizure, as The Zioneer has reported. The leak claim, which Trump did not elaborate on, introduces a new element to his public narrative regarding the current confrontation, but remains unverified.
