President Trump declares “complete and total regime change” in Iran, warning that “a whole civilization will die tonight” while describing the moment as one of the most important in world history. He links the development to the end of “47 years of extortion, corruption, and death.” #Iran
Trump says the U.S. military is “loading up” around Iran and threatens that if his demands aren’t met, “the Shootin’ Starts,” while threatening “our military is looking forward, actually, to its next Conquest.”
PRESS SEC: Six weeks ago, President Trump looked the American people in the eye and told them that he launched this operation to take out the imminent threat posed by Iran.
That threat has now been greatly destroyed thanks to the success of Operation Epic Fury.
Donald Trump announces 50% tariffs on 'a country' supplying weapons to Iran, warning measures will take effect immediately with no exemptions as pressure intensifies.
Place your bets.

I've been posting at least 3 NAFO account lists everyday since the end of February & have no problem at all finding new ones. You'd think I might run out and have to stop!
3 lists that typically have 16 each, that's 48 NAFO each day that are mostly new to me & to many of YOU too
I think I caught up on all my Fella follows. So if you follow me and I don't follow you - let me know. Took a minute to get through 1800 new follows in a single day. 😆
It is shocking that @hannah_1973 has so few followers! She filled up my pickup truck with aid in the middle of the night, so I didnt have to drive to Ukraine empty handed. Hannah is a trooper! Follow!! And Boost!!
Tonight, the United States threatened to erase a civilization. Ninety minutes before its own deadline, it blinked.
The deal, announced by Tehran, not Washington, reads as follows: safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz will be possible via coordination with Iran’s Armed Forces. In China’s currency. On Iran’s terms. At Iran’s price.
The US didn’t contest it. The US didn’t rebut it. The US went to bed and it handed operational control of the world’s most strategically critical waterway to the country it just spent 38 days bombing, settled the bill in yuan, and called it a victory.

So let me get this straight…
•$40 billion spent
•300+ Americans wounded
•Over a dozen killed
•Oil prices doubled
•U.S. bases severely damaged
And what do we get?
Iran keeps its uranium.
No nuclear deal.
The Strait of Hormuz still unstable.
And the world sees us as weaker, not stronger.
Sounds about right for a Trump deal.
❗️US, Iran, and Israel agreed to an immediate ceasefire following mediation by Pakistan, with Trump confirming a two-week suspension of strikes. Iran signals conditional de-escalation, while both sides move toward finalizing a broader agreement based on a proposed framework. #Iran
@PressSec We are worse off by every objective metric and Iran is better off as a result of your administration’s actions. This is one of the most humiliating moments in American history. The Strait was never an issue prior to the war. Now Iran is making $2M per ship. What a disaster.
@BMeiselas@PressSec A real disaster would be watching this turn into another decade long war like Afghanistan or Vietnam, with hundreds of thousands dead, global famine and economic depression.
It was a terrible idea to attack Iran. Better to acknowledge that early and cut your losses.
This is a victory for the United States that President Trump and our incredible military made happen.
From the very beginning of Operation Epic Fury, President Trump estimated this would be a 4-6 week operation.
Thanks to the unbelievable capabilities of our warriors, we have achieved and exceeded our core military objectives in 38 days.
More on that tomorrow morning from @SecWar and Chairman Caine!
The success of our military created maximum leverage, allowing President Trump and the team to engage in tough negotiations that have now created an opening for a diplomatic solution and long-term peace.
Additionally, President Trump got
the Strait of Hormuz reopened.
Never underestimate President Trump’s ability to successfully advance America’s interests and broker peace.
