Trump Vows to Bomb Iran “Back to the Stone Age”

In a televised address on Wednesday, President Trump stated his plans for bombing campaigns against Iran, indicating that he intends to take the country “back to the Stone Age” in the weeks ahead. He urged citizens to view the military actions as an “investment” in the future of their children and grandchildren.

During the 19-minute speech from the White House, Trump expressed confidence in the progress made by U.S. forces. “Thanks to our advancements, I can say we are on track to meet all of America’s military objectives very soon,” he declared.

“Iran was the bully of the Middle East, but they are no longer in that position,” he continued, signaling a shift in regional power dynamics. He emphasized the importance of this conflict as a means to secure a safer future for the next generations.

In his remarks, Trump highlighted the current capabilities of the U.S. military and seemed to rally the public’s support to finalize these military efforts.

“Allowing terrorists to possess nuclear weapons would pose an unacceptable threat,” he asserted. “The most cruel regimes could conduct terror and coercion under nuclear protection, and I refuse to let that happen.”

Trump remarked that Iran’s recent military actions, including attacks on neighboring countries and its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, illustrated their dangerous potential with nuclear weapons. He noted that rising gasoline prices in the U.S. are a direct result of Iran’s aggressive actions against civilian shipping.

“This proves that Iran cannot ever be trusted to handle nuclear arms,” he added, warning that should they obtain such weapons, they would quickly exploit them. “It would lead to unthinkable extortion and instability,” he cautioned.

Trump claimed that significant strikes on over 11,000 targets in Iran had “obliterated” the country’s nuclear capabilities and severely weakened its hardline leadership.

“In the history of warfare, the enemy has never encountered such losses. In a matter of weeks, the enemy has faltered, and we are achieving victory, just as we have throughout my presidency,” he insisted.

“Back to the Stone Age”

Despite acknowledging that he had met the two- to three-week timeline he set previously, Trump warned that the conflict was not over. He indicated that greater consequences were forthcoming for Iran unless an agreement is reached.

“We’ll hit them really hard,” he told the audience. “For the next couple of weeks, we’ll work to bring them back to where they started.” He mentioned that should negotiations fail, U.S. forces would target major infrastructure, such as Iran’s power plants.

While discussing tactics, he referenced attacks on oil facilities but suggested they had held off to prevent any chance of Iran recovering. “They wouldn’t even dream of surviving such a blow,” he claimed.

Trump did not discuss the possibility of a ground invasion, even after considering plans to deploy special forces to secure nuclear material buried deep within Iranian territory.

He emphasized that the U.S. is increasingly independent from the Middle East but remains available to assist allies in the region. “We no longer need anything from them, but we are here to support our partners,” he stated.

“Our military is an overwhelming force,” Trump remarked, referencing the damage inflicted on Iran’s nuclear sites during prior attacks. “The aftermath is so significant that it will take months before they could get near those facilities again,” he noted, hinting at ongoing monitoring efforts.

“If there’s any action taken against us, they will be hit hard,” he warned, asserting that the U.S. holds all the strategic advantages in this conflict.

“Keep Perspective on the Conflict”

Trump criticized ongoing global interventions and reflected on the loss of American lives in this conflict, arguing against it being a long-term engagement. He urged the public to understand the scale of America’s involvement in historical wars compared to this current operation.

“It’s essential to see this in context. Our involvement in World War I lasted just over a year, and World War II was almost four years,” he stated. “In contrast, we’ve only spent 32 days in this military operation against one of the strongest nations, and they have been effectively neutered as a threat.”
