Trump threatened Iran on Truth Social shortly before midnight Wednesday, one day after a ceasefire agreement was reached.
“All U.S. Ships, Aircraft, and Military Personnel, with additional Ammunition, Weaponry, and anything else that is appropriate and necessary for the lethal prosecution and destruction of an already substantially degraded Enemy, will remain in place in, and around, Iran, until such time as the REAL AGREEMENT reached is fully complied with,” the post read.
“If for any reason it is not, which is highly unlikely, then the ‘Shootin’ Starts,’ bigger, and better, and stronger than anyone has ever seen before,” the post continued.
Trump’s post also said the Strait of Hormuz should be open.
“In the meantime,” it said, “our great Military is Loading Up and Resting, looking forward, actually, to its next Conquest.”
Trump, also on Truth Social, had warned Tuesday that “a whole civilization will die tonight” if an agreement with Iran was not reached, extreme rhetoric that prompted accusations that he was threatening war crimes.
