Newsman: “Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace,” Trump said in his address to the nation. “If they do not, future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier.”
He then described tactics of the regime.
“For 40 years, Iran has been saying, ‘Death to America,’ ‘Death to Israel,'” he said. “They have been killing our people, blowing off their arms, blowing off their legs with roadside bombs. That was their specialty.” The president appeared to be referring to attacks launched by Iran-backed militants in the years after the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq.
Trump tells Iran ,Peace or tragedy.
“There will either be peace or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days,” Trump said. He noted that there are many other targets in Iran.
“If peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill. Most of them can be taken out in a matter of minutes,” he said.
