"Good Line Of Bullsh*t": Trump Claims Iran Killed Over 100,000 Protesters
President Donald Trump claimed Iran is a 'failed nation' and accused its leadership of killing over 100,000 protesters. This follows a US military strike on Iranian launchers in the Strait of Hormuz and subsequent Iranian retaliation against US bases in Jordan.
Why it matters
The escalation of hostilities between the US and Iran in the Strait of Hormuz and Jordan poses significant risks to regional stability and global energy security.
US President Donald Trump on Monday accused Iran of killing over 10,000 protesters. Trump's comments, in which he also claimed that Iran is not paying its security and armed forces, came hours after the US struck two Iranian launch systems on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz. "Iran is officially a Failed Nation. IT IS DEAD! They have no Navy, they have no Air Force, they have no currency, they are not paying their soldiers or police, Inflation is at 300%, and their leadership is in total disarray and incapable of properly representing the country," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. "The only thing they have is FAKE NEWS from the USA, a willingness to kill their protesters (now over 100,000 people dead. They must be tried for war crimes against humanity!), and a good line of "BULLS**T." Thank you for your attention to this matter!
