Donald Trump has again claimed the U.S “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear facilities and called Tehran’s response “very weak”, with 13 out of 14 missiles fired into America’s military base in Qatar intercepted.
Trump thanked Iran for giving the U.S notice prior to shooting missiles at its base, which he said made it possible for no lives – both Qatari and American – to be lost.
“I am pleased to report that NO Americans were harmed, and hardly any damage was done. Most importantly, they’ve gotten it all out of their ‘system,’ and there will, hopefully, be no further HATE,” Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform, today.
“Perhaps Iran can now proceed to Peace and Harmony in the Region, and I will enthusiastically encourage Israel to do the same,” Trump added.
Trump added in capital letters in a later post:
“CONGRATULATIONS WORLD, IT’S TIME FOR PEACE!”
