President Donald Trump said Thursday that “The clock is ticking’ for Iran” and that the country is chaos to the extent that “they have no idea who their leader is.”
In a series of posts, Trump rejected suggestions that he is seeking a quick ceasefire and criticized media coverage of his stance.
“For those people, fewer in number now than ever before, that are reading The Failing New York Times, or watching Fake News CNN, that think that I am “anxious” to end the War (if you would even call it that!) with Iran, please be advised that I am possibly the least pressured person ever to be in this position. I have all the time in the World, but Iran doesn’t — The clock is ticking!”
He also cited recent US military operations, writing: “Iran’s Navy is lying at the bottom of the Sea, their Air Force is demolished, their Anti Aircraft and Radar Weaponry is gone, their leaders are no longer with us, the Blockade is airtight and strong and, from there, it only gets worse — Time is not on their side!”
Following the cancellation of talks this week, Trump said any agreement would depend on US terms. “A Deal will only be made when it’s appropriate and good for the United States of America, our Allies and, in fact, the rest of the World.”
Trump told MSNow on Thursday that Iran is falling apart internally and that they “have no idea who their leader is.”
“They’re all messed up. They have no idea who their leader is. You know, we took out, really, three levels of leaders. And everybody that was even close behind him,” he said, referring to the late Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. “So they have a hard time figuring out who the hell can speak for the country. They just don’t know.”
He added, “They’re really a mess, and now nobody wants to help them, because they no longer have the fear factor,” Trump said. “They’re no longer — they’re no longer the bully of the Middle East.”
