The belief that “in two weeks the US will have hit all targets in Iran” was expressed today by Donald Trump.
Heightening the belligerent climate towards Iran, Donald Trump said earlier today in an interview: “The United States needs only two more weeks to hit all its targets in Iran.” At the same time, he also attacked NATOcalling it a “cardboard tiger“.
These were his remarks aired today, but his interview with freelance journalist Cheryl Atkinson was taped last week.
So Donald Trump reiterated that the Iranians “have been defeated at the military level.” “They may not realize it, but I think they know it,” he said. “That does not mean, however, that they have said their last word,” he added.
Donald Trump hinted that the US military could “stay on the ground for two additional weeks and hit all the targets.” “We’ve been looking at certain targets and we’ve hit probably 70 percent of them,” Donald Trump said. “But there are others that we could hit. This would be but the finishing touch,” the US president said.
Trump attacks NATO
In the same interview, Donald Trump was quick to attack NATO member states. He even described the North Atlantic Alliance as a “paper tiger”, complaining that its allies were not “there to help”. Yesterday, in fact, in statements to the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, Donald Trump renewed his appeal to Georgia Meloni for military assistance. “Italy Italy did not stand by us when we were in need. I have always helped Italy, as has my country,” US President Donald Trump told the Corriere della Sera newspaper. In this way, Donald Trump commented on Italy’s intention to send a minesweeper to the Strait of Hormuz after the end of the war.
