Trump: US Forces Have Crippled Iran’s Military To An Extraordinary Degree

I'm watching it, this is a straight up lie: Trump announces that U.S. operations in Iran have concluded successfully.

The American people now really regret electing a leader like Trump.
Trump is the king of liars around the world.

Iran President Masoud Pezeshkian has released an open letter, addressing the American people, calling on them to question the motives of the ongoing US-Israeli war on Iran. Below is the full text of his letter.

“In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

“To the people of the United States of America, and to all those who, amid a flood of distortions and manufactured narratives, continue to seek the truth and aspire to a better life:

“Iran — by this very name, character, and identity — is one of the oldest continuous civilisations in human history. Despite its historical and geographical advantages at various times, Iran has never, in its modern history, chosen the path of aggression, expansion, colonialism, or domination. Even after enduring occupation, invasion, and sustained pressure from global powers — and despite possessing military superiority over many of its neighbours — Iran has never initiated a war. Yet it has resolutely and bravely repelled those who have attacked it.

“The Iranian people harbour no enmity toward other nations, including the people of America, Europe, or neighbouring countries. Even in the face of repeated foreign interventions and pressures throughout their proud history, Iranians have consistently drawn a clear distinction between governments and the peoples they govern. This is a deeply rooted principle in Iranian culture and collective consciousness — not a temporary political stance.

“For this reason, portraying Iran as a threat is neither consistent with historical reality nor with present-day observable facts. Such a perception is the product of political and economic whims of the powerful — the need to manufacture an enemy in order to justify pressure, maintain military dominance, sustain the arms industry, and control strategic markets. In such an environment, if a threat does not exist, it is invented.

“Within this same framework, the United States has concentrated the largest number of its forces, bases, and military capabilities around Iran — a country that, at least since the founding of the United States, has never initiated a war. Recent American aggressions launched from these very bases have demonstrated how threatening such a military presence truly is. Naturally, no country confronted with such conditions would forgo strengthening its defensive capabilities. What Iran has done — and continues to do — is a measured response grounded in legitimate self-defence, and by no means an initiation of war or aggression.

“Relations between Iran and the United States were not originally hostile, and early interactions between the Iranian and American people were not marred with hostility or tension. The turning point, however, was the 1953 coup d’etat — an illegal American intervention aimed at preventing the nationalisation of Iran’s own resources. That coup disrupted Iran’s democratic process, reinstated dictatorship, and sowed deep distrust among Iranians toward US policies. This distrust deepened further with America’s support for the Shah’s regime, its backing of Saddam Hussein during the imposed war of the 1980s, the imposition of the longest and most comprehensive sanctions in modern history, and ultimately, unprovoked military aggression — twice, in the midst of negotiations —against Iran.

“Yet all these pressures have failed to weaken Iran. On the contrary, the country has grown stronger in many areas: literacy rates have tripled —from roughly 30 per cent before the Islamic Revolution to over 90pc today; higher education has expanded dramatically; significant advances have been achieved in modern technology; healthcare services have improved; and infrastructure has developed at a pace and scale incomparable to the past. These are measurable, observable realities that stand independent of fabricated narratives.

“At the same time, the destructive and inhumane impact of sanctions, war, and aggression on the lives of the resilient Iranian people must not be underestimated. The continuation of military aggression and recent bombings profoundly affect people’s lives, attitudes, and perspectives. This reflects a fundamental human truth: when war inflicts irreparable harm on lives, homes, cities, and futures, people will not remain indifferent toward those responsible.

“This raises a fundamental question: Exactly which of the American people’s interests are truly being served by this war? Was there any objective threat from Iran to justify such behavior? Does the massacre of innocent children, the destruction of cancer-treatment pharmaceutical facilities, or boasting about bombing a country ‘back to the stone ages’ serve any purpose other than further damaging the United States’ global standing?

“Iran pursued negotiations, reached an agreement, and fulfilled all its commitments. The decision to withdraw from that agreement, escalate toward confrontation, and launch two acts of aggression in the midst of negotiations were destructive choices made by the US government —choices that served the delusions of a foreign aggressor.

“Attacking Iran’s vital infrastructure — including energy and industrial facilities — directly targets the Iranian people. Beyond constituting a war crime, such actions carry consequences that extend far beyond Iran’s borders. They generate instability, increase human and economic costs, and perpetuate cycles of tension, planting seeds of resentment that will endure for years. This is not a demonstration of strength; it is a sign of strategic bewilderment and an inability to achieve a sustainable solution.

“Is it not also the case that America has entered this aggression as a proxy for Israel, influenced and manipulated by that regime? Is it not true that Israel, by manufacturing an Iranian threat, seeks to divert global attention away from its crimes toward the Palestinians? Is it not evident that Israel now aims to fight Iran to the last American soldier and the last American taxpayer dollar — shifting the burden of its delusions onto Iran, the region, and the United States itself in pursuit of illegitimate interests?

“Is ‘America First’ truly among the priorities of the US government today?

“I invite you to look beyond the machinery of misinformation — an integral part of this aggression — and instead speak with those who have visited Iran. Observe the many accomplished Iranian immigrants —educated in Iran — who now teach and conduct research at the world’s most prestigious universities, or contribute to the most advanced technology firms in the West. Do these realities align with the distortions you are being told about Iran and its people?

“Today, the world stands at crossroads. Continuing along the path of confrontation is more costly and futile than ever before. The choice between confrontation and engagement is both real and consequential; its outcome will shape the future for generations to come. Throughout its millennia of proud history, Iran has outlasted many aggressors. All that remains of them are tarnished names in history, while Iran endures —resilient, dignified, and proud.”

Apparently the mullas in Iran spent 47 years and trillions of the public money in their quest to go after US and Israel. In one month all that money and effort went up the smoke.

That is on top of their mismanagement of the environment in Iran that ended up with lakes and rivers drying up. Additionally, they alienated the neighbouring countries and had their citizens kicked out. Their hostile actions resulted in the country being put under sanctions and hundreds of thousands of people died of lack of medicine and in general they were robbed of a more comfortable life because the Ayatollahs took over the country. Many people got arrested and died under torture or ended up hanging from cranes or simply machine gunned in the streets just because of the Ayatollahs trying to cling to power without the public's votes.

47 years of misery and waste but the idiots are still in charge and Iran's situation is way worse because despite the rampant unemployment before the war, now the people of Iran have no job to go to cause all their industries have been bombed.

What a curse these mullas have been for Iran.
What a never-ending travesty.
I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemies.
Would you?

Is this mf* trying to manipulate the market again?

Does this mean we won?

Just a regurgitation of the various inane and mendacious 'truths" of the past days.

/ES down 90 right now and you ain't seen nothing yet, because the religious zealots running the Pentagon have chosen Easter weekend to start the ground war.

if u dont need oil, why Us army at mideast ? c'mon dont be shy, just say Yes to Oil. but wait, Iranian Officer not yet counter this statement. like yesterday, gold up bcs issue casefire, but iran official deny it. just drink a cup of coffee and watching this CeO gold serial drama.

LOVE YOU TRUMP we are with you

Madarchod

He's a lying liar... You'd think people would know this by now

Strait of Hormuz >>> Strait of Trump

What is really amazing to us in the rest of the world is that these lies are so blatant yet no one in the GOP speaks up about it. If the president of France or the EU Commission or whoever would say something that is such a blatant lie they would be impeached the next day. No one seems to care the harm this person is doing to the USA: it will take decades to restore credibility. Is it not obvious to Americans that the ONLY country that benefits from this administration is Russia? And even someone who was apparently decent like Rubio is now sucked into this web of lies. "Evil happens when good men do nothing."

Trump's provocative statement will provoke Russia and China to be directly involved in the Iran + (Russia, China) vs Israel, US war zone.

one of the war techniques is to keep everything that happens on the battlefield a secret before the opponent surrenders. Trump lied to the public about the US war against Iran. Iran's weapons will not run out because Russia and China can easily supply weapons to Iran. Iran is just buying time to use up Israeli and US ammunition.

Yeah sure mate, winning "decisively" from day1. So why then there's reporting of more and more troops going to Middle East after all the month or so of "winning"? The clean up the rubble that you left there?
This fella is quite a dissapointment from what people voted for. Somebody should remind him of what he ran on.
US allegedly doesn't need their oil and yet gas in the US is way higher then before they started this.. MAGA, yeah sure.. hope they let him know soon how much they (don't) like it. And I'd vote for him if I'd live in US.. What a dissapointment that would be. Oh, if you can't vote yourself out of the status quo, then what?

Speech...Pure diarrhea, what an embarrassment for America

Conditions for talks set - this tells you who is really in charge here!

Fuck u trump

LIAR.

Did we watch the same speech? lol

Dude Everything things he lied.....! Inran never accepted ceasefire still and he just decided that Hormuz will never open after hard strikes.....

So trump just making taking liquidity of of overall market...

And remembered this time gold will reached 5300$ after that it will take action reversed so be cool in the direction of uptred....it was just sweeping of liquidity bcz there is no more cash in revolving in around nation of America....reason everyone is going to secure his wealth in bonds....and bonds are the main role of QT supply of money shrink that cause big crash of market ....is now going currently situations in market !!

TRADERS all over the world stop trading for just 3 months then Trump will stop making provocations.....finally it will be proven that what Trump said was just a lie

LOL...LOL

I hope this is the beginning of the END of this policing(bulling) country.
The “orange man” may have triggered the decline — and there’s no place left to hide.

First Vietnam… now Iran — the pattern isn’t new.

All the heroism and tech supremacy work well on screen, but reality often exposes the gaps.

A “superpower” in theory — yet at times, it looks more like super powder.

Careful with the TWEEEEEEETS today lol

wow we are going to hit them hard.. very hard. war continues

now just see how hard nasdaq falls. again manipulation done in past 2 days

Where in the speech was that even said? April fools joke FF?

Sell, Sell Sell. Trump is just a Joke

That's outrageous, ridiculous, shameless, and deceitful. - America is both a terrorist organization and a comedy show. - Ignorant fools who don't bother to learn history: they flatter and praise the US, democracy, the world's police, ... -> Remember: the US is the only organization that used nuclear weapons, the US used Agent Orange, and the US financed the terrorist regime in Israel. To commit massacres in Gaza, ... - There are still a few Americans who don't support these actions -> Very welcome and grateful. But why does the government they created keep doing such things??? A group of Europeans created America: a machine of aggressive war, creating enmity for nations. They plundered everywhere.

what a clown. just speak what we want to hear.

It is the Islamic zealots of Iran that started this war 50 years ago. I hope the mullahs haven't planned a nice pork roast for Sunday lunch, as I have

Yoo bro stopppp please trump no more i dont win no more pleaseee

What was achieved?

That headline April Fools..

This is just adding more fuel to a burning fire. Oil goes UP. Stock Market down in a blood bath.

Trump: U.S. operations in Iran have concluded successfully
TRUMP: WILL HIT IRAN EXTREMELY HARD OVER NEXT 2-3 WEEKS
TRUMP: WHEN CONFLICT ENDS, STRAIT WILL OPEN UP NATURALLY


How do you conclude something that's still going to continue for 2-3 weeks?
And what's the point of "WHEN conflict ends"? ... if you're announcing you have concluded it

Traders I think it's a sell for gold

He's playing both sides. Now he's buying oil. And, accordingly, other instruments.

We'll believe him when the missiles stop being fired for a few days not when he tells us.

But it's a lie.

This guy talks too much

Trump is a liar and a coward who has achieved nothing. Then no one came to his aid and so he decided it was time to pull his tail and let himself be humiliated because he just showed how the American military is outdated and dysfunctional, weak and backward in the world of drones and hypersonic weapons. The brothers in the Middle East see it all and no money to the USA

Srr but i have to say that you are the most stupid President ever

A speach full of lies................

Drill Baby Drill

Cry Baby Cry

The sound/voice of a tired defeated man.........
