US President Donald Trump on Wednesday issued a fresh warning to Iran, calling the country’s military “a complete and total mess” after the American army launched retaliatory strikes at Tehran, while blaming the crash of a US Army helicopter on the Islamic Republic.

“They have been completely defeated. Iran is all talk and no action. The Bully of the Middle East is dead!!!,” wrote Trump in a Truth Social post.

After the US military’s strikes, Iran fired back by attacking countries in the region, including Jordan and Kuwait. Trump further added, “They’ve taken too long to negotiate a deal that would have been great for them, now they will have to pay the price!!!”
