Donald Trump has posted to Truth Social following Iran’s attack on a US airbase.
“Iran has officially responded to our Obliteration of their Nuclear Facilities with a very weak response, which we expected, and have very effectively countered,” he wrote.
“There have been 14 missiles fired – 13 were knocked down, and 1 was ‘set free,’ because it was headed in a nonthreatening direction.
“I am pleased to report that NO Americans were harmed, and hardly any damage was done.
“Most importantly, they’ve gotten it all out of their ‘system,’ and there will, hopefully, be no further HATE.”
Trump apparently sought to strike a conciliatory note, claiming Iran had notified the US of the attack.
“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,” he said.
“Perhaps Iran can now proceed to Peace and Harmony in the Region, and I will enthusiastically encourage Israel to do the same. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
In a second post, Trump thanked the Emir of Qatar for his efforts towards peace in the Middle East.
