President Donald Trump said Wednesday night that the United States will 'slap them a little,' in what appears to be a reference to Iran. The statement came shortly after he said earlier in the evening that 'now it's our turn to attack,' as The Zioneer reported.
The latest remarks add to a pattern of escalating rhetoric from the President toward Iran. In recent weeks, Trump has made a series of statements about military action, including threats to 'cripple Iran with full force' and calling Iranians 'scum,' as The Zioneer has reported. The White House has not provided further context on the specific meaning of 'slap them a little,' and it remains unclear whether the President is referring to a specific military operation or a broader policy stance.
