US President Donald Trump, branded a 'corrupt coward' by critics online, lashed out at reporters questioning his Iran war strategy on March 16, 2026 before warning UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer that Britain's refusal to join the conflict could doom NATO.
The war erupted on Feb. 28 when US and Israeli forces hammered Iranian missile sites, bases and top brass, killing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in the opening salvos. Iran hit back with drone and missile barrages on US bases across the Gulf and Israel, dragging in Hezbollah and sparking fears of a wider inferno. Trump has since doubled down, dispatching 5,000 marines and sailors while eyeing what he calls 'unconditional surrender.'
