Trump slammed for 'deranged' threat to Iran 'leader' as he issues urgent warning amid Israel attacks

Donald Trump's latest posts on Truth Social over Iran have sparked fury as the situation deteriorates in the region.

Donald Trump’s social media activity has seen him face quite a lot of backlash, as people have accused him of ‘war-mongering’ given he issues threats to Iran.

Israel has been conducting strikes in Tehran since June 13, which so far has gone on without US involvement. In retaliation, Iran has fired back its own missiles, with some even getting through the country’s Iron Dome defenses in Tel Aviv.

Trump has repeatedly spoken on his social media platform Truth Social about Iran, which he says must come to make a new nuclear deal now, or face more strikes and further death.

The POTUS has been calling on the country to sign a nuclear deal with the group of world powers known as the P5+1 - which includes the US, UK, Germany, France, China, and Russia, who've all been in negotiation with Iran in regards to its nuclear program since 2006.

And now, Trump’s latest post on Tuesday (June 17) evening on the developing conflict has sparked both outrage and concern.

He wrote: “We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran. Iran had good sky trackers and other defensive equipment, and plenty of it, but it doesn’t compare to American made, conceived, and manufactured ‘stuff.’ Nobody does it better than the good ol’ USA.”

In a follow up post, he added: “We know exactly where the so-called 'Supreme Leader' is hiding. He is an easy target, but is safe there - We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now. But we don’t want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

In another he simply added: “Unconditional surrender.”

However, on Twitter, these comments likely haven’t had the positive support Trump was hoping for.

One user said: “Why don’t you bring our military home and fix America like you promised. So disappointed I voted for you.”

Another added: “You guys are f****** clowns!!! Stop the war-mongering bs!!”

A third added: “The President is impairing the dignity of his presidency as well as the national honor by this kind of rhetoric, in my view.”

With another commenting: “We voted for peace, we got a warlord, Thanks Trump.”

And fifth person simply writing: “Our so-called President is out of his mind.”
