President Donald Trump issued a stark warning to the government of Iran via Truth Social Monday.
“Every time Iran kills an American Soldier they will pay for that killing many times over!” the president wrote on his social media platform.
“This directive has been passed on to Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Daniel Caine, and every Leader in the Military,” he added before signing off, “President DONALD J. TRUMP.”
The president’s message was posted after the Pentagon released the names of two U.S. servicemembers who were killed in Jordan after Iran fired missiles at an American military base in the country.
First Lt. Tyler James Feehan, 25, of Ewa Beach, Hawaii, was killed Saturday, and Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, 19, of Carrollton, Texas, was killed Friday. Per The New York Times, Gonzales was assigned to the 10th Army Air Missile Defense Command in Ansbach, Germany, and Feehan to the 32nd Army Air Missile Defense Command in Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
The identity of a third servicemember who was killed in northern Iraq Saturday has not been released. A fourth servicemember is still missing. The Times also reported that a U.S. official who spoke with the newspaper on the condition of anonymity “said that remains at scene were believed to be those of the missing soldier.”
Four other servicemembers who were wounded in the attacks were taken to hospitals in Jordan and have since been discharged.
The president also took to Truth Social to defend Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Monday.
He wrote, “Benjamin Netanyahu will not be arrested, in any way, shape, or form, while in the United States of America. He is fighting against the Islamic Republic of Iran, which recently killed 52,000 innocent protestors, and has spent the last 47 years killing American Soldiers, and others. The only ones that should be arrested are the people that led Iran into this unprecedented SPIRAL OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION, something that should have been dealt with years ago, by previous Presidents!”
LESS TALING MORE BOMBING

Will only work if he sends Marshals to free him by force if he is arrested and arrest anyone that tries or interferes.
Trump has conspicuously avoided killing large numbers of Iranian troops. More bombs have been dropped than Iranians killed, a remarkable feat, suggesting he times these things to minimize body count. Problem is winning wars involve destroying the other guy’s army. Not his equipment, which can quickly be replaced, but his men, who can’t.
Less talkly more targeted assassinations. This is how it should be, for every American soldier killed we off one of their regime members. Trust me Israel knows where these jackasses are and when they take a dump, if Israel wants someone dead they are dead, and they are great at offing the regime if given permission..I want the ENTIRE regime dead, NOT ONE left behind, NOT ONE..same goes for the IRGC, I want them ALL dead, from their cousins cousin to their grandmother sitting in her lawn chair, I want them ALL DEAD
During the war, Trump specifically told Israel to NOT kill certain regime members, stupid mistake, you kill them ALL then negotiate
“Trump has conspicuously avoided killing large numbers of Iranian troops.”
Where have you read that? I’m not doubting you, but I haven’t seen that anywhere.
Getting really tired of Iran and Netanyahu together in the news. There’s these connections being brought together by the press, its not good.
Deranged blood lust from the Foreigners Firsters today.
"Sympathy for the favorite nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest in cases where no real common interest exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays the former into a participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter without adequate inducement or justification. It leads also to concessions to the favorite nation of privileges denied to others which is apt doubly to injure the nation making the concessions; by unnecessarily parting with what ought to have been retained, and by exciting jealousy, ill-will, and a disposition to retaliate, in the parties from whom equal privileges are withheld. And it gives to ambitious, corrupted, or deluded citizens (who devote themselves to the favorite nation), facility to betray or sacrifice the interests of their own country, without odium, sometimes even with popularity; gilding, with the appearances of a virtuous sense of obligation, a commendable deference for public opinion, or a laudable zeal for public good, the base or foolish compliances of ambition, corruption, or infatuation.
As avenues to foreign influence in innumerable ways, such attachments are particularly alarming to the truly enlightened and independent patriot. How many opportunities do they afford to tamper with domestic factions, to practice the arts of seduction, to mislead public opinion, to influence or awe the public councils...
Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow-citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government. But that jealousy to be useful must be impartial; else it becomes the instrument of the very influence to be avoided, instead of a defense against it. Excessive partiality for one foreign nation and excessive dislike of another cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil and even second the arts of influence on the other. Real patriots who may resist the intrigues of the favorite are liable to become suspected and odious, while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people, to surrender their interests."
-George Washington's Farewell Address 1796

Considering he Pearl Harbored their political leadership, threatened to annihilate their nation, along with other incredibly hostile actions and threats, I seriously doubt most Iranians care about phony claims of restraint.
But they don’t care they expect to lose many many more than we do.
Not saying it’s easy but the only good solution here is that ruling group gets moved out of Iran and a new one takes over which is better controlled by us.
There is so much rhetoric from both Iran and the Administration that I will now wait for the US Naval Institute articles.
I want even IRGC’s goats killed. That will stop all zoophilia & bestiality.
His tough talk is getting old. Especially when it’s bs.
Indeed. And full credit to him for that. He knows the rank and file are just cannon fodder for the regime much like the young protestors. They are just regular people with families. He doesn't want this turning into a Russia/Ukraine thing. Kill their top leadership. Level their military instructure. Take over their oil. Sounds good enough to me.
this president doesn’t seem to get it. We don’t WANT any more American boys to die for Israel!!!! Or for Raytheon or McDonnell-Douglas, etc...

We should be bombing the sites that have missiles. I assume we are but only it seems when they fire at other countries and our ships.
That’s one way to tell us you never voted for PDJT and America First.
