WANA (Jun 10) – In a dual-front rhetorical escalation against Tehran, Donald Trump has declared Iran’s military capabilities effectively neutralized while simultaneously threatening immediate strikes against the country’s civilian infrastructure.

 

‘The Bully of the Middle East is Dead’

In a post published on Truth Social, Trump mocked Tehran’s conventional defense capabilities, asserting that the country’s main military branches have been dismantled by recent confrontations.

 

The full text of Trump’s social media statement reads:

“Iran’s Military is a complete and total mess. Much of it, like their Navy and Air Force, doesn’t even exist anymore – They have been completely defeated. Iran is all talk and no action. The Bully of the Middle East is DEAD!!! They’ve taken too long to negotiate a deal that would have been great for them, now they will have to pay the price!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

 

Infrastructure Ultimatum

Compounding his online remarks, Trump expanded his targeting parameters during a subsequent interview, moving beyond strictly military installations to focus on critical domestic logistics and energy networks.

 

“I am on the verge of ordering new attacks on power plants and bridges in Iran,” he said.
