U.S. President Donald Trump posted that “the bully of the Middle East is DEAD,” in a statement widely interpreted as referring to developments in the region’s ongoing conflicts. In a related development reported by Icelandic media, Trump said Iran had taken too long to negotiate a solution and would now “have to pay for it.” His social media post asserted that the Iranian military had been “thoroughly defeated,” coming on the heels of an exchange of fire between U.S. and Iranian forces testing a ceasefire agreement [3, 24].
