US President Donald Trump said only Iran’s “unconditional surrender” would stop his assault on the country.

Writing on his Truth Social platform, Trump says there would be “no deal” with the country otherwise.

“After that, and with the selection of a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s), we, and many of our wonderful and very brave allies and partners, will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction, making economically bigger, better and stronger than ever before,” he wrote.

A report by the US outlet Politico on Wednesday revealed that US Central Command has asked the Pentagon to deploy additional military intelligence officers to its headquarters in Tampa, Florida.

The reinforcements would support operations against Iran for at least 100 days and potentially until September.

    He also said he has to pick Irans next leader. I just have to ask, how does he think this war is going? Because everything I have seen says he should be begging for surrender soon

        Its like the Pentagon giving Lyndon Johnson highly inflated numbers of NV and Vietcong casualties because they were afraid of his reaction to the truth. It’s why he was utterly gobsmacked when the Tet Offensive happened.

      I don’t know what normies are being told about the war, but it’s safe to assume that they’re not seeing what we’re seeing.

        We see Iran striking Isntreal and US Thaad radar systems being destroyed (no word on the operators), while they see Isntreal and US striking “military targets” in Tehran (minus the girl school footage of bloody pink backpacks).
