A timeline of Trump's shifting statements about how long the Iran war will last

Since the U.S. and Israel launched the strikes against Iran Feb. 28, President Donald Trump has made contradictory statements about the timeline to end the war. He has repeatedly declared victory and then later threatened Iran.

And in the last three weeks, we’ve been told another three times that “we won,” we won the “quick and easy” war, the same war that is close to entering its tenth week, and with no end in sight

History is good to have a rough time deciding which was Trump’s greatest blunder, his approach to Covid or the Iran War

Not so; in fact the ignorant rantings of American on this tiny fringe platform have enhanced Iran's solidarity and determination to resist, and for that I thank you.

It is the warmongers won this election and we are facing the ramifications of that. Trump is installing Project 2025 as his blueprint and it is likely to replace the Constitution.

Those are your internal affairs. If you were not a nation of cowards and lovers of luxury, you could have availed yourselves of the remedies against tyranny enshrined (but ignored) in your founding documents.

We of Iran did so in 1979. Yes, our freedom was bought with great pain; yet we are not under the yoke of foreign devils, and we are willing to die rather than submit.

The better question is if we've already won like 4 times why are we still fighting?
 

Ex-US Vice President Harris slams war on Iran as ‘bulls**t’​



Former US Vice President Kamala Harris has criticised the US-Israeli war on Iran at a Democratic Party event in Las Vegas, calling it “bulls**t”, amid cheers from the crowd.

She said: “This war in Iran, which the American people do not want, which was not authorised by Congress, but even if it was, it should not have been initiated. He talked about obliterating … It’s all just bulls**t.”

Derisory. You have failed. America lacks the fortitude for a fight, preferring to kill thousands in sneak attacks from the air, in cowardly fashion.

Gas prices will force your inevitable defeat, alone.

We need not kill your people as you have killed ours.

Americans are chary of shedding their own blood, as all the world knows.

As in Vietnam, you will cut and run, again.

Trump’s social media posts expose his incoherent Iran strategy​



From Day 1, Trump has been making daily announcements, each contradicting the one before and each wackier than the last.

If I asked you right now to state the status of Donald Trump’s war with Iran, what could you say?

It is, as it has been from the beginning, an incoherent clown show of mismanagement and misinformation by the man who made this whole ridiculous mess.

If anyone ever had the time to put them all together, you would really get a sense of just how disjointed, chaotic and confused the commander in chief is.

We do have the time to put them all together, and so we thought it would be helpful to take a brief journey through the insane ups and downs of the war, as told through Trump’s Truth Social proclamations.

You’ll remember the tough talk from the early days of the war.

On March 6, Trump posted that “There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER,” adding that his goal is to “MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN (MIGA!).”

And, according to Trump, it was working.

The very next day, March 7, he posted: “Iran, which is being beat to HELL, has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors.”

So the war was over? Well, not so fast.

On March 9, the president posted, “If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far … Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them.”

Okay, so the war was back on.

The next day, March 10, at 4:07 p.m., Trump told the world that “If Iran has put out any ‘mines’ in the Hormuz Strait, and we have no reports of them doing so, we want them removed, IMMEDIATELY!”

Then, 13 minutes later, he wrote, “I am pleased to report that within the last few hours, we have hit, and completely destroyed, 10 inactive mine laying boats and/or ships, with more to follow!”

On March 14, Trump announced NATO would join in on the effort. “Many Countries, especially those who are affected by Iran’s attempted closure of the Hormuz Strait, will be sending War Ships, in conjunction with the United States of America, to keep the Strait open and safe,” he said. “This should have always been a team effort, and now it will be!” he added later.

But then, three days later, Trump followed that message up with this one: “The United States has been informed by most of our NATO ‘Allies’ that they don’t want to get involved with our Military Operation against the Terrorist Regime of Iran … we no longer ‘need,’ or desire, the NATO Countries’ assistance — WE NEVER DID!”

So, he didn’t need their help.

But just a couple of days later, he did, again. On March 20, he wrote, “The Hormuz Strait will have to be guarded and policed, as necessary, by other Nations who use it.”

Three days after that, the president posted about an apparent breakthrough in negotiations, writing, “I AM PLEASED TO REPORT THAT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND THE COUNTRY OF IRAN, HAVE HAD, OVER THE LAST TWO DAYS, VERY GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS.”

But three days after that, things hit a snag. “The Iranian negotiators are very different and ‘strange,’” Trump wrote.

Then, on April 1, he said, “Iran’s New Regime President … has just asked the United States of America for a CEASEFIRE!”

One day later, the president told Iran it was time to “MAKE A DEAL BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE, AND THERE IS NOTHING LEFT OF WHAT STILL COULD BECOME A GREAT COUNTRY!”

On April 5, he posted “Open the F—– Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell.”

Two days later, on April 7, Trump shared a message I’m sure you’ll remember, telling the world that “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.”

But later that day, he followed up that message with this: “I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE!” He added that the U.S. “received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate.” Just after midnight, Trump declared it was “A big day for World Peace.”

Then, the next day, he posted: “There are reports that Iran is charging fees to tankers going through the Hormuz Strait — They better not be!”

On April 10, Trump said, “The Iranians don’t seem to realize they have no cards.”

A week later, on April 17, he called it “A GREAT AND BRILLIANT DAY FOR THE WORLD!” and said, “IRAN HAS JUST ANNOUNCED THAT THE STRAIT OF IRAN IS FULLY OPEN AND READY FOR FULL PASSAGE. THANK YOU!”

But on April 19, just two days later, Trump said,“Iran recently announced that they were closing the Strait.”

It went on like that until May 3, when Trump announced he had a new tactic for opening the strait, a coalition of the willing, if you will. He said a new operation, called “Project Freedom,” would “begin Monday morning.”

But by Tuesday, Trump had to reverse course, yet again. Project Freedom, the president wrote, “will be paused for a short period of time.”

Honestly, we could go on and on and on. There are hundreds of posts, and you can trust exactly none of them.

Case in point: On Thursday, The Washington Post reported on a CIA report, which totally contradicts the administration’s claims that Iran is on the verge of collapse. It says Iran can survive our naval blockade for months.

But by Tuesday, Trump had to reverse course, yet again. Project Freedom, the president wrote, “will be paused for a short period of time.”

Honestly, we could go on and on and on. There are hundreds of posts, and you can trust exactly none of them.

The fact of the matter is Trump is losing a war to Iran that he never should have started in the first place, and no amount of increasingly frantic posting can change that fact.
