President Donald Trump continued his warning to Iran on Sunday morning, stating that the country 'may never learn' and that the US 'may have to finish the job.' The message, posted on social media, follows a series of escalating threats and confirmed US air strikes.
President Donald Trump escalated his public warnings toward Iran early Sunday, posting on social media that 'Iran may never learn. We may have to finish the job.' The remark is the latest in a string of increasingly direct threats this week.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday, Trump warned late Saturday that a point may come when the US 'will no longer be reasonable' and would have to complete its military mission, after confirming US air strikes on Iranian missile depots and coastal radar sites in response to alleged ceasefire violations. The president stated then that if the military mission is completed, 'the Islamic Republic of Iran will cease to exist.'
The new statement, posted at 07:15 Jerusalem time, echoes Trump's earlier language about 'finishing the job' — a phrase he used at least twice this week, including a claim that he could do so in under a week. The message did not specify a timeframe, operation, or any new trigger beyond the ongoing military pressure.
The post comes amid a sustained US air campaign against Iranian military targets and a pattern of the president signaling that diplomatic avenues are narrowing. No immediate response from Tehran was reported.
