Trump said today (March 7): "Iran is now in a terrible situation, has apologized and surrendered to its Middle Eastern neighbors, and promised never to fire at them again. This promise came about entirely because of the ruthless strikes by the United States and Israel. They originally wanted to annex and rule the entire Middle East."
This is the first time in thousands of years that Iran has lost to its neighboring Middle Eastern countries. They said: 'Thank you, President Trump.' I replied: 'You're welcome!'
Iran is no longer the 'Middle East bully,' but instead, they are now the 'Middle East loser,' and will remain so for decades to come, until they surrender, or more likely—completely collapse!
Today, Iran will suffer extremely heavy blows! In light of Iran's evil actions, some regions and forces previously never considered as targets for strikes are now being seriously considered for complete destruction and elimination.
Thank you all for your attention! President Donald J. Trump
Comment: Trump's statements completely distort the facts and speak nonsense. The Iranian president has clearly emphasized that Iran will never surrender to the United States and Israel, calling the U.S. demand for Iran to surrender an unrealistic fantasy. Iran has only publicly apologized to its neighboring countries involved in the conflict and promised not to target its neighbors unless provoked. This is a kind gesture to ease regional tensions, not a sign of submission or defeat to the US and Israel. Trump deliberately confuses the essential differences between apology and surrender, fabricates false scenarios of Middle Eastern neighbors thanking him, exaggerates the results, invents a narrative of a "complete victory," and uses extreme language such as "complete destruction" to incite hostility, create panic, and humiliate Iran. The reason why Trump made this misleading statement is largely because Iran's strong resistance shattered his illusion of a quick victory, leaving him in an awkward situation where he cannot achieve a quick victory nor can he step down, thus leading him to become angry and embarrassed.
