President Donald Trump said the United States will attack Iran again today, adding 'They keep playing us for suckers.' The statement comes after a series of US strikes on Iranian targets and signals continued escalation.
President Donald Trump announced another wave of US strikes on Iran today, saying 'They keep playing us for suckers,' according to a statement carried by The Times of Israel. The remark follows a series of aggressive statements by Trump over the past hours, in which he confirmed heavy US strikes on Iran yesterday (June 9) and vowed to hit them 'very hard' today. In earlier statements today, Trump accused Iran of stalling nuclear talks and said the Iranians 'had enough time for a deal' and squandered it. The latest threat escalates the already heightened military posture between the two nations, though no specific target list or timing was provided by the president. As The Zioneer reported, the US has been preparing further waves of strikes, with Iranian power plants reportedly on a potential target list. Trump's language — accusing Iran of manipulating the US — represents a hardening of tone compared to earlier comments in which he said Iran 'wants a deal.'
