❌ Update/ President Trump, confirming that attacks on the Islamic Republic of Iran are underway tonight, said:

“Well, I think everything is moving very fast. We have smashed their army. We are hitting them very hard.

Yesterday, or the day before yesterday, we had reached an agreement; it was over—everything was done. But they immediately broke that agreement because they realized they don’t like part of it. Their way of thinking is different, and we are not going to tolerate such behavior.

We are just moving forward. Tonight, we are attacking them. We are wiping out all their capabilities in whatever relates to the strait—the strait of Hormuz. And I think in the end, we will take control of the entire area.

What they are doing is very foolish and very irrational, and they have treated their own people terribly.

So far, based on what we have been able to determine, they have killed 52,000 of the protesters. The actual number may be higher, but at least 52,000 protesters have been killed, and this is truly a horrifying situation.

But we will bring things under control.”
