US President Donald Trump mocks Iran’s “very weak response” to the “obliteration of its nuclear facilities… which we expected and have very effectively countered.”
He writes on Truth Social that the Iran attack on the US airbase in Qatar consisted of 14 missiles — 13 of which were shot down while one was allowed to land “because it was headed in a non-threatening direction.”
Trump says no Americans were harmed in the attack and that “hardly any damage was done.”
“They’ve gotten it all out of their ‘system,’ and there will, hopefully, be no further HATE,” Trump writes.
“I want to thank Iran for giving us early notice, which made it possible for no lives to be lost and nobody to be injured,” Trump says.
“Perhaps Iran can now proceed to peace and harmony in the region, and I will enthusiastically encourage Israel to do the same,” he adds.
In a subsequent post, Trump thanks the Qatari emir for “all that he has done in seeking peace for the region.”
He also notes that no Qatari citizens were killed or wounded in the Iranian attack.
In a third post, Trump declares, “CONGRATULATIONS WORLD, IT’S TIME FOR PEACE!”
