Trump says Iran will 'pay the price' and claims they have 'taken too long' to agree to a deal

snip>

The comment came just a day after Trump said that a deal could be reached in “two or three days” and that the critical Strait of Hormuz would reopen “immediately” after such a deal.

Tensions ramped up in the Middle East on Tuesday. U.S. forces launched strikes against Iran, which U.S. Central Command said were “in response to yesterday’s downing of a U.S. Army Apache helicopter.”

Trump couldn't get him to stop bombing and invading Lebanon. Iran won't budge on that.

Even people that don't like Trump sometimes forget what an amateur he is and how he's surrounded himself with incompetent idiots. They have no idea what they're doing.

There is no real objective, he just wanted to bomb Iran to take Epstein out of the news, and that worked. Tried to get a do over and that just gave Iran time to fortify their weapons.

Once you surrender, they're unlikely to think your not going to eventually surrender. LOL this dude is a joke. Iran is eating his lunch and kissing his girl while he shits in his pants and falls asleep.

Iran is going to get far money under the trump plan than Iran got from President Obama
Ex-GOP lawmaker rips 'bozo' Trump for 'giving Iran 20 times the money Obama did'
https://www.rawstory.com/trump-iran-2677037429/

Former Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger tore into President Donald Trump over his handling of the war with Iran on Saturday, accusing the president of buying his way out of the conflict and walking away with almost nothing for it.

"Trump lies constantly and he is desperate for the Iran war to be over," Kinzinger wrote in a post on X that accompanied a video. "So desperate that he's giving Iran 20 times the money Obama did, and getting nothing in return, except an open strait that Iran will charge a 'maintenance fee' to all ships. Well done, bozo."

In the video, recorded selfie-style from the driver's seat of his car, the ex-congressman argued that Trump's record of dishonesty has gutted Washington's credibility to the point that Americans now wait to hear Iran's version of events before believing their own government.

"It's because Donald Trump lies constantly, all the time," Kinzinger said. "The constant lies take away any version of credibility. And that is a terrible place for us to be in."

Then he ran the numbers as he sees them.

" Barack Obama gave Iran $1.5 billion and we lost our mind. And I think rightly so. We called that out," Kinzinger said. He claimed Trump "has already given Iran $3 billion," lifted sanctions on Iranian oil when the war started, and is now "set to give Iran an additional around $25 or $30 billion."

"Barack Obama, $1.5 billion. Donald Trump, 30-some billion," he said. "And we don't even have the nuke stuff."
