President Donald Trump used a series of harsh terms to describe the Iranian regime during a NATO summit, according to a report by Israeli commentator Yair Goldblatt on X. The reported remarks include 'garbage', 'scoundrel', 'dirty', 'cancerous growth', 'evil', 'useless', 'worthless', 'sick', 'crazy', and 'fraud'. The White House has not officially confirmed the precise wording.
Tonight, a new report from Israeli commentator Yair Goldblatt on X claims President Donald Trump delivered a string of additional epithets — including 'garbage', 'dirty', 'worthless', 'evil', 'cancerous growth', 'sick', 'crazy', and 'fraud' — against the Iranian regime during a NATO summit. The reported remarks extend a day of escalating rhetoric from Trump, who earlier today (Wed 11:13 Jerusalem) was reported to have called Iranians 'evil and mentally ill' and said the US must 'cut out the cancer early.'
The thread of Trump's reported statements against Iran today began at 11:13 Jerusalem, when The Zioneer reported a statement attributed to Trump saying 'they need to be uprooted from the root, like cancer' (version 1). Within minutes, four additional versions were published, each adding new language: 'remove the tumor quickly' (v2), explicit identification of Iran as 'cancer' (v3), Trump's claim that he is on Iran's assassination list (v4), and the characterization of Iranians as 'evil and mentally ill' (v5). All these versions were based on unattributed reports and have not received official White House confirmation. The new NATO summit report, from a single X post by a commentator, similarly lacks independent verification.
The Zioneer has previously reported on Trump's sharp language toward Iran, including calling the Iranian leadership 'crazy' and 'cockoo' (Wed 16:01 Jerusalem) and accusing them of lying about the nuclear deal (Wed 11:27 Jerusalem). These earlier reports, also based on unattributed statements, form a pattern of escalating rhetoric.
It remains unclear whether the NATO summit remarks occurred in a public or closed-door session, and the White House has not officially confirmed the precise wording. The reliance on a single X post for this new report means the full list of terms and their context remain unverified.
