Trump sparks outrage with terrifying 6-word
President Donald Trump has stirred controversy with comments about the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran. Following Israeli strikes on Tehran and Iranian missile retaliation—some of which bypassed Israel’s Iron Dome and damaged a hospital in Beersheba—Trump was questioned about possible U.S. military involvement. On June 18, when asked whether the U.S. might strike Iran, Trump gave a vague and alarming response: “I may do it, I may not do it. Nobody knows what I’m gonna do.” The ambiguous answer provoked backlash online, with critics calling the statement reckless and unpresidential. Trump later added that his patience with Iran had already “run out.”
Trump has been vocal about Iran, urging the country to agree to a new nuclear deal or face increased military action. On Truth Social, he claimed that the U.S. now holds “complete and total control” of Iran’s airspace, downplaying the effectiveness of Iran’s defenses. In another post, Trump warned that although the U.S. knows the location of Iran’s Supreme Leader and could target him, they are choosing not to—at least for now. He ended with a stern warning, saying America’s patience is wearing thin and called for Iran to cease missile attacks on civilians and U.S. troops.
