With the aim of taking pressure off the downing of two US military planes at the mercy of the Iranian army, President Donald Trump released a video of an airstrike in which he claims several military leaders of the Islamic Republic were eliminated
On Friday, Iranian troops took credit for shooting down an F-15E Strike Eagle as it crossed their airspace and later that of another A-10 Warthog attack aircraft.
The incidents occurred less than Forty eight after President Donald Trump, through a speech to the nation, stated that the US military offensive had destroyed Iran’s navy and air force, assuming that, in three weeks at most, it would completely destroy its opponent.
“I am pleased to say that these central strategic objectives are almost fulfilled. Over the next two or three weeks we are going to return them to the Stone Age, which is where they belong,” said the Republican, anticipating a victory that was highly questioned by his political adversaries.
Realizing that the Iranians became stronger than he had contemplated, shooting down two of his most powerful planes, Trump He ordered a powerful attack in response.
“Many militia leaders who were governing Iran poorly and foolishly are being eliminated, alongside many other issues, in this major assault in Tehran.”

Through a video published on the Fact Social platform, the Republican president tried to put things back together by showing the strength of the US military offensive during an operation carried out at night in the capital of Iran.
“Many of Iran’s military leaders, who have led it poorly and recklessly, are eliminated, along with many others, with this massive attack in Tehran,” indicates a text attached to the video.
However, some political figures such as Seth Moulton, representative for Massachusetts, are beginning to describe him as the loser of the war waged in the Middle East.
“Trump is completely overcome by the situation. He has no idea what he is doing and he is lying to us once again. He has no opinion to end this war that he himself started and that he is now losing,” he said.
Following an identical line of thought, John Bolton, former national security adviser, even senses panic in President Donald Trump noting that the Iranian militia grew stronger rather than weaker.
“It seems to me that he has probably panicked again, wanting to find a way to declare victory and get out of this war. If the president or the White House is reeling from this, then it indicates, once again, that they had not fully thought through what it meant to launch these attacks,” he stressed.
