President Trump unleashed a blistering broadside against Iran’s leadership early Friday morning, declaring on Truth Social that the United States is “totally destroying” the terrorist regime.
Whether it be militarily, economically, or in every facet of the ongoing military operations, Iran is suffering the wrath of the American military.
“We are totally destroying the terrorist regime of Iran, militarily, economically, and otherwise, yet, if you read the Failing New York Times, you would incorrectly think that we are not winning,” the President wrote. “Iran’s Navy is gone, their Air Force is no longer, missiles, drones, and everything else are being decimated, and their leaders have been wiped from the face of the earth.”
Trump is referring to recent New York Times coverage of Operation Epic Fury that he views as downplaying American military successes.
The President also issued a stark, personal warning to the regime.
“We have unparalleled firepower, unlimited ammunition, and plenty of time – Watch what happens to these deranged scumbags today,” he threatened. “They’ve been killing innocent people all over the world for 47 years, and now I, as the 47th President of the United States of America, am killing them. What a great honor it is to do so!”

Have Iran’s Mullahs Cut and Run for a Safer Locale Than Tehran?
It’s unclear if the President is referring to a continued bombardment of Iran or if he’s signaling an escalation will be seen across the rogue nation on Friday.
Regardless, this is an effective framing of Operation Epic Fury as a long-overdue reckoning for 47 years of bloodshed against innocents worldwide.
The President, during an interview on Fox News radio, also addressed rumors that Iran’s current “Supreme Leader,” Mojtaba Khamenei, is dead. The son of the recently deceased Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has not been seen in public since being named to his new role, and issued a statement that was read on Iranian state TV on his behalf.
“I think he probably is (alive),” Trump said. “I think he is damaged, but I think he’s probably alive in some form, you know.”

Trump said the new Supreme Leader is doing “a lot of talking,” but he’s “going to have to put up.”
The Sun is reporting that Khamenei has been critically wounded, to the extent that he may be missing limbs and in a coma. The New York Post reports milder injuries, including a “fractured foot (and) face injuries,” that he suffered on the first day of military strikes.
While none of these have been confirmed, Trump’s assessment that he is “damaged” but “probably alive” suggests he knows something. And when the President knows something, the “deranged scumbags” might want to scatter.
Keep your head on a swivel, Mojtaba.
Editor’s Note: For decades, former presidents have been all talk and no action. Now, Donald Trump is eliminating the threat from Iran once and for all.
