President Donald Trump just made it crystal clear he’s in no rush to end the U.S.–Israeli war with Iran. In a Truth Social post, he sneered at critics who think he’s “anxious” to wrap things up, declaring he’s “possibly the least pressured person ever” in his position. “I have all the time in the world,” he wrote, “but Iran doesn’t — The clock is ticking!” The message was unmistakable: he’s playing the long game, and Iran is the one running out of time.
The post didn’t hold back. Trump ticked off a laundry list of what he claims are Iran’s military failures, writing, “Iran’s Navy is lying at the bottom of the Sea, their Air Force is demolished, their Anti Aircraft and Radar Weaponry is gone, their leaders are no longer with us, the Blockade is airtight and strong and, from there, it only gets worse.” It’s a bold statement, and if even half of it is true, Iran’s military is in rough shape. But the real question is what happens next.
