Donald Trump has claimed the US is ‘totally destroying Iran’ while issuing a sinister warning that he is about to escalate the conflict.
The president appeared to signal that major action would be unfolding on Friday, writing in the early hours on Truth Social: ‘Watch what happens to these deranged scumbags today.’
‘We are totally destroying the terrorist regime of Iran, militarily, economically, and otherwise,’ he wrote at 12.33am.
‘Iran’s Navy is gone, their Air Force is no longer, missiles, drones and everything else are being decimated, and their leaders have been wiped from the face of the earth,’ he added.
‘We have unparalleled firepower, unlimited ammunition, and plenty of time – Watch what happens to these deranged scumbags today.
‘They’ve been killing innocent people all over the world for 47 years, and now I, as the 47th President of the United States of America, am killing them. What a great honor it is to do so!’
In a Fox News radio interview, Trump also addressed rumors that Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei might be dead, saying he believes he is ‘still alive in some form’.
