Donald Trump reportedly attended a phone interview to reveal that he is weighing a long-term strategy regarding Iran after warning them of catastrophic consequences. He also assured Americans that they would be “protected” if the war dramatically escalates because of his decision. These comments come after the president took to social media to issue a final warning to Iran as his 48-hour deadline to reopen the Strait of Hormuz approached.
Donald Trump comments on American citizens amid Iran threat
According to Politico, in a phone interview with West Wing Playbook, Donald Trump shared that his main focus is planning the long-term strategy for the ongoing US-Israel-Iran war, which is all he is thinking about now. Reassuring the citizens on safety, he added that Americans “will be well protected because of me.” These comments came amid Trump’s final warning to Iran on April 7 to either strike a deal or face dangerous consequences.
He wrote on Truth Social, “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS?” He further warned that the world might witness one of the most significant moments in history tonight. “47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!” he concluded.
A few hours ahead of his deadline, Trump announced that they are halting their attack for a period of two weeks, but on the condition that Iran reopens the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has agreed to the cease-fire deal and has allowed the ships to safely pass through the Strait of Hormuz for two weeks.
However, they have only agreed to permit passage through the Strait if vessels cooperate with the Iranian armed forces. Iran has also reportedly said it will stop military attacks for this specific period, provided it is not attacked in the meantime.
