Former U.S. President Donald Trump has asserted that Iran is significantly weakened, suggesting that conflict with the nation is nearing its conclusion. The remarks come as millions of Iranians participated in demonstrations on the final Friday of Ramadan, marking International Quds Day in support of Palestinians and condemning Israeli actions in Gaza, according to Iran’s state news agency IRNA.
Trump stated, “Almost nothing is left to hit, and the war will be over soon.” This assessment follows a period of heightened tensions between the U.S. And Iran, and amid ongoing concerns about the broader regional impact of the conflict in Gaza. The statement, reported by bTV Novinite, also arrives as Trump faces unfavorable polling numbers domestically and anxieties about global economic repercussions.
In a separate online post, Trump issued a new threat to Iran, writing, “Watch what happens to these crazy fanatics today.” This was reported by the Bulgarian Telegraph Agency (BTA).
The International Quds Day demonstrations saw widespread participation across Iran, with protesters voicing solidarity with the Palestinian people. The event, observed annually during the last Friday of Ramadan, is a platform for expressing opposition to Israel and its policies. A report from bTV Media Group indicates that Trump believes a significant escalation in the conflict with Iran is still to come.
The development underscores the volatile situation in the Middle East and the potential for further escalation. Trump’s comments could influence future diplomatic efforts and regional security calculations.
