Bomb as much as you want, Hormuz won’t reopen.
It will reopen only when Iran’s core demands are addressed.
And from Iran’s perspective, those demands are rooted in decades of economic strangulation by the West.
Until that changes, this war has no real endpoint.
Excellent speech. As President Trump said, Iran’s days of terrorizing the world are OVER.
The actions we are taking will make the United States SAFER and MORE PROSPEROUS than ever before.
Peace through strength 🇺🇸
@WarClandestine Wtf he didn't take out anything but the free flow of the strait which provides the entire world with essential resources. Are people really this dense? God help us all
Let's get one thing straight. Donald Trump just spent twenty minutes lying to the American people, threatening to commit war crimes on civilian infrastructure, and pretending you should be grateful that his reckless, illegal war has cost lives abroad and your money at home. Unhinged.
Has there ever been a more rambling, disjointed, and pathetic presidential war speech?
Donald Trump’s actions in Iran will be considered one of the greatest policy blunders in the history of our country, failing to articulate objectives, alienating allies, and ignoring the kitchen table problems Americans are facing.
He is completely unfit to be Commander-in-Chief and the whole world knows it.
Just talked to @POTUS and told him that he exceeded every expectation I had for this speech. He gave the American people a clear and coherent pathway forward. Most importantly, he gave a compelling explanation as to why we had to act against this evil regime.
That was the best speech I could’ve hoped for.
✅ Defined the threat our country and the world was facing from a nuclear-capable Iran.
✅ Explained in clear terms the necessity for action because the regime was weeks away from producing enough weapons grade material to make up to 10 bombs.
✅ Informed America and the world we are 2-3 weeks from reaching our military objectives, which is the destruction of Iran’s missile and nuclear weapon programs.
To me, the most compelling and biggest takeaway of all was that he informed the Iranian regime that if we don’t have a real, diplomatic deal to prevent the Iranian regime from going back to their old ways, President Trump will use military force to destroy the regime’s economy to guarantee they will never go back to their old ways.
Midnight Hammer and Epic Fury are examples of what the greatest military in the world can achieve when the commander in chief trusts them and will let them win. The winning combination is not only a great military but also a great commander in chief. We have that in President Trump.
Under @POTUS, our nation has built the strongest economy in history — all guided by his decisive leadership.
It is thanks to this leadership by which our core strategic objectives in Iran are nearing completion, and by which we are on the cusp of ending Iran’s threat to the world.
America’s economic strength feeds into our great military strength. Economic security is national security. And President Trump is leveraging both in this conflict, keeping Americans for generations to come secure and prosperous.
Holy shit.
I’m so sorry that I ever voted for this shit. I’m sorry that I took this dude at his word.
No war with Iran? Lie.
Release the Epstein files? Lie.
Help the crypto space? Eh kinda. All while enriching himself and his family to the tune of BILLIONS of dollars.
Trump is off of his fucking rocker.
Protect our troops. 🙏🏾
Once this war is over with IRAN, the stock market is going to explode, gas prices are going to collapse, and the American economy is going to take off!
Just in time for the run-up to the midterms.
Poor Democrats.
President Trump is absolutely right.
Iran has been killing thousands of Americans for 47 years.
Stopping Iran from being a threat will make America safer and more prosperous.
