Trump issues staggering threat amid war negotiations: 'Blow up the rest of their country!'
Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left
Summary
President Donald Trump once again threatened to obliterate the Iranian civilization in a Truth Social post on Tuesday as war negotiations seem to be faltering. CNN reported on Tuesday that Trump's administration has had a hard time identifying a negotiator with decision-making authority inside Iran as it evaluates multiple proposals it has received. Those negotiations have also slowed the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway that has been blockaded for multiple weeks due to the ongoing war in Iran. Trump again lashed out at his Iranian counterparts in a new post. "Iran doesn’t want the Strait of Hormuz closed, they want it open so they can make $500 Million Dollars a day (which is, therefore, what they are losing if it is closed!)," Trump wrote. "They only say they want it closed because I have it totally BLOCKADED (CLOSED!), so they merely want to “save face.” People approached me four days ago, saying, 'Sir, Iran wants to open up the Strait, immediately.' But if we do that, there can never be a Deal with Iran, unless we blow up the rest of their Country, their leaders included!"
