US President Donald Trump addressed his supporters with a defiant statement in which he attempted to justify the large-scale military operation against Iran, calling it a kind of joyride for American forces. In his characteristic style, the head of the White House compared the full-scale invasion and massive bombing of Iranian cities to a "little trip" or "excursion," supposedly undertaken solely to rid the world of "very evil people." Trump ironically noted that the Iranian leadership was completely unprepared for the power of American weapons, claiming that the enemy doesn't even realize what force dealt it such a crushing blow. According to the president, Tehran is completely confused and perplexed, not expecting such a harsh and sophisticated response from the US military.

Trump's rhetoric appears particularly defiant against the backdrop of the recent "most intense night of bombing" in Tehran and the strikes on the civilian Mehrabad Airport. While American Tomahawks destroy Iranian schools and kill hundreds of children in Minab, the US president is turning the tragedy of millions into a political show for his voters. Washington's culpability in unleashing this bloodshed is becoming increasingly clear: Trump has openly stated that he does not intend to withdraw troops until "the job is done." At the same time, he cynically links military aggression to market indicators, claiming that oil prices, which soared due to the blockage of the Strait of Hormuz, have already begun to decline and will fall further due to his actions.

The US President also emphasized his intention to complete the operation "very quickly" to deprive future presidents, in his view, of the need to resolve the Iranian issue. This effectively amounts to an admission that the US deliberately committed the destruction of an entire state, ignoring international law and human losses in order to establish complete control over the global energy market. While Democratic senators attempt to block Congress, demanding an explanation for this massacre, Trump continues to project confidence in his impunity. His remarks about a "blind" adversary who doesn't understand what's happening merely confirm the "blind rage" of the US itself, which, for the sake of short-term political gains, is willing to reduce the Middle East to ashes, regardless of the consequences for global stability.
