United States President Donald Trump has issued a string of Iran-related statements in quick succession while the Middle-Eastern country continues to trade missiles with Israel.
Speaking via his Truth Social platform on Tuesday, Trump
said, “we now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran”.
“Iran had good sky trackers and other defensive equipment
and plenty of it, but it doesn’t compare to American-made, conceived, and
manufactured ‘stuff.’ Nobody does it better than the good ol’ USA,” he said.
The Israeli military has been responsible for penetrating
through Iran’s air defence system, but the US president used the collective
pronoun throughout the posts boasting of other accomplishments.
“We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ is
hiding. He is an easy target but is safe there – We are not going to take him
out (kill!), at least not for now,” he added.
“But we don’t want missiles shot at civilians or American
soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin. Thank you for your attention to this
matter!”
The US has long provided Israel with military aid and
equipment.
However, since the war began on Friday, its public position
has been that the US is not involved in Israeli strikes on Iran.
Analysts say Trump’s posts give a very different impression
from his claim of wanting peace in Iran.
Earlier, US Vice-President JD Vance said Trump “may decide
he needs to take further action” to end Iran’s nuclear programme.
Vance praised Trump’s “restraint” in keeping the US
military’s focus on protecting troops and civilians, adding that the president
“is only interested in using the American military to accomplish American
people’s goals”.
In his last successive post on Iran, the US president asked
the Middle Eastern nation for “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!”
