Early Friday morning, President Trump launched a fierce critique against Iran’s leadership via Truth Social, asserting that the United States is effectively dismantling what he described as a “terrorist regime.”
In terms of military might, economic pressure, and various other strategic operations, Iran is reportedly feeling the relentless force of American power.
Trump declared, “We are systematically eradicating the terrorist regime of Iran through military, economic, and other means, but according to the Failing New York Times, you’d be misled to believe otherwise. Iran’s Navy has been obliterated, their Air Force crippled, and their arsenal of missiles and drones severely diminished, not to mention the elimination of their leadership,” he wrote.
This statement comes in response to what Trump perceives as understated reporting by the New York Times on the successes of Operation Epic Fury.
The President further issued a stern, individualized warning to Iran’s regime, underscoring his direct approach.
The President also issued a stark, personal warning to the regime.
“We have unparalleled firepower, unlimited ammunition, and plenty of time – Watch what happens to these deranged scumbags today,” he threatened. “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!”

It’s unclear if the President is referring to a continued bombardment of Iran or if he’s signaling an escalation will be seen across the rogue nation on Friday.
Regardless, this is an effective framing of Operation Epic Fury as a long-overdue reckoning for 47 years of bloodshed against innocents worldwide.
The President, during an interview on Fox News radio, also addressed rumors that Iran’s current “Supreme Leader,” Mojtaba Khamenei, is dead. The son of the recently deceased Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has not been seen in public since being named to his new role, and issued a statement that was read on Iranian state TV on his behalf.
“I think he probably is (alive),” Trump said. “I think he is damaged, but I think he’s probably alive in some form, you know.”

Trump said the new Supreme Leader is doing “a lot of talking,” but he’s “going to have to put up.”
The Sun is reporting that Khamenei has been critically wounded, to the extent that he may be missing limbs and in a coma. The New York Post reports milder injuries, including a “fractured foot (and) face injuries,” that he suffered on the first day of military strikes.
While none of these have been confirmed, Trump’s assessment that he is “damaged” but “probably alive” suggests he knows something. And when the President knows something, the “deranged scumbags” might want to scatter.
Keep your head on a swivel, Mojtaba.
Editor’s Note: For decades, former presidents have been all talk and no action. Now, Donald Trump is eliminating the threat from Iran once and for all.
