Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth’s 'back to the Stone Age' threat to Iran draws swift consulate response

US President Donald Trump on Thursday warned that Iran would be hit “extremely hard” over the next two to three weeks, saying US action would “bring them back to the Stone Age” as the conflict involving Iran, Israel and the United States continues to deepen and tensions soar in the Middle East.

“We are going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks. We are going to bring them back to the stone ages, where they belong.

He also stated that Washington’s action against the Islamic Republic is “on the cusp” of ending what he described as Tehran’s “sinister threat” to the US and the world.
