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!”
Talk Tough.
Proclaim a Cease Fire.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
Exactly. There’s a time when you have to Deliver the Goods.
That’s the Art of the Deal.
No take out everything that they use for the military. Manufacturing plants, refineries, electric plants, rail lines, airport runways, pipelines, highways.
The IRGC is the equivalent of Imperial Japan - both believed their leaders were sons of deities/prophets. Two Nukes ended Imperial Japan. I may take several thermobaric bombs to end the IRGC.
On the contrary, I voted for Trump three times. He has repaid that by betraying the Constitution and leading the country into another ‘stupid war’ that will cost billions and get Americans killed for no benefit to America.
You can always spot a Foreigners Firster, they reject George Washington and embrace foreign wars for foreign nations.
Iran can’t afford our fallen warriors but they can afford to give up the Gulf, the islands and the ports.
So, if they kill one of our soldiers we kill 50 of theirs?
That usually doesn’t work.
He has focused on infrastructure and command and control. Surely there have been significant hits on military (and IRGC) leadership. But the strikes have not been targeting civilian areas when they are likely to be occupied.
OK do that too but also assassinate them, especially that foreign minister, I know he’s hiding in some 2,000 underground bunker but you can still bury his ass in deep dirt . Also want to hurt Iran, destroy Hezbollah..Israel could by themselves kill all of Hezbollah in ONE WEEK, remove the handcuffs from Israel and let them cook they could do it, Hezbollah is Iran’s right arm, that is why Iran mentions them all the time they need them, notice they dont mention Hamas anymore because they are a non issue, their useful purpose is gone but Hezbollah to them is worth saving
What handcuffs has the Trump administration put on Israel?
Answer: None, a small amount of criticizing rhetoric with zero financial or economic consequences for Israel isn’t hancuffing them.
They can do whatever ever they want. However, without using nuclear weapons on their enemies their conventional arsenal isn’t going to change anything in the current war.
