Donald Trump has claimed that Iranians are pleading with the U.S. to keep dropping bombs near their homes amid the ongoing war. The President made the shocking claim at a recent press briefing at the White House. Below are the details of his bold claim.
Donald Trump makes bold claim about Iranians
On Monday, April 6, Donald Trump responded to questions regarding his threats to strike Iran’s infrastructure. The President claimed that Iranians are encouraging the U.S. to continue bombing and suggested that the civilians are willing to sacrifice safety in pursuit of freedom.
A reporter asked, “You said Iranians would be mad if you stopped these attacks, but why would they want you to blow up their infrastructure to cut off their power? Wouldn’t that be punishing Iranians for the actions of the regime?”
In response, Trump stated, “They would be willing to suffer that in order to have freedom.” The POTUS added, “We’ve had numerous intercepts… ‘Please keep bombing.'” He claimed that Iranians have reportedly urged, “Please keep bombing, do it,” despite the bombs falling near their homes.
Trump went on to say, “These are people who are living where the bombs are exploding, and when we leave and are not hitting those areas, they’re saying, ‘Please come back, come back.’” He concluded, stating, “All I can tell you is that they want freedom.”
Trump’s recent claim comes shortly after he shared a controversial statement on a Sunday, April 5, Truth Social post. Using profanity, the President threatened Iran to open the Hormuz Strait as soon as possible. “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” Trump wrote. He added, “Open the F—in’ Strait, you crazy b——s, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.”
Trump later defended his use of vulgar language in the post during an Easter celebration in the White House, saying that it was intended “only to make my point.”
