Trump declares ‘Death of Iran’ as missile strikes hit Israel

US President Donald Trump has issued a stark declaration amid escalating conflict in the Middle East, claiming the “death of Iran” while missile attacks from Tehran continued to strike Israeli territory.

Strikes targeting southern Israeli cities, including Dimona and Arad, left dozens injured, among them children. Visiting one of the impacted areas, Benjamin Netanyahu described the outcome as a “miracle” given the absence of fatalities, urging residents to follow shelter warnings during incoming attacks.

Iranian authorities report significant casualties from US-Israeli strikes since late February, while retaliatory actions by Tehran have also resulted in deaths in Israel and at US-linked sites across the region.

Trump has further warned that Iran’s energy infrastructure could be targeted if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened within 48 hours. The key maritime corridor, which carries a substantial share of the world’s oil supply.

The US president proclaimed the “death of Iran,” adding that now, “the greatest enemy America has is the Radical Left, Highly Incompetent, Democrat Party!”



In response, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard signalled that any attack on its power facilities would trigger a complete shutdown of the strait until repairs are completed.

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia has expelled several Iranian diplomatic staff, citing Tehran’s continued actions in the Gulf, in a move that underscores the widening regional fallout.

  1. This is israhell telling Trump to destroy economies through energy depletion in order to enable israhell’s expansion plans.
    BOTH, Trump and satanyahu, will go to jail if they don’t carry on with their madness.

  2. It’s the death of F-35 combat missions over Iran because their IT geeks at Lockheed Martin won’t release the necessary software upgrades till 2031.

    The F-35 neither took evasive action nor released flares before it was hit – because the pilot was unaware of the Iranian missile homing in. The necessary software to detect incoming infrared-based threats aren’t available till 2031.

    • I suspect this software upgrade won’t properly solve the problem. Because all somebody needs to do is to create bogus infrared sources from all over the airspace near the F-35 which would then trigger multiple false alarms for the pilot of the F-35 which would result in lunatic trajectories for the plane as the F-35 constantly evades non-existent threats. High-tech AI creates comedy.

  3. Oops did the mask slip? What happened to standing with the “brave people of Iran!” Now we see the truth. The US and Israel don’t care how many innocent lives are lost, just so long as they can end Iran in its current form, rob it of its sovereignty and rob it blind of resources. Its people becoming paupers in their own land.

    Here in NZ we need to beware of politicians who stand with the USA. The question anyone should ask is “who are they loyal to?”.
