What else has Trump said about Iran?

US-Israeli airstrikes have continued to target Tehran (Picture: EPA)Last night,Trump brushed off fears that the attacks on Iran could be classified as a war crime.‘I’m not worried about it,’ Trump said when asked how he would respond to those accusations. ‘You know the war crime? The war crime is allowing Iran to have a nuclear weapon.’Asked again about the issue,he said Iran’s leaders were ‘animals’ who had killed tens of thousands of protesters.Trump also said that if it were up to him,he would seize Iran’s oil,but that ‘unfortunately,the American people would like to see us come home’ and end the war.‘I’d keep the oil,and I would make plenty of money,’ Trump said.Strikes have already targeted railway lines in Iran today (Picture: Telegram)This weekend,the US leader shared a foul-mouthed social media post on Easter Sunday.‘Tuesday will be Power Plant Day,and Bridge Day,all wrapped up in one,in Iran,’ he said.‘There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F*****’ Strait,you crazy b******s,or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP’.The wild post came after Iran showed no signs of capitulating,striking oil fields and other economic and infrastructure targets in neighbouring Gulf countries.If Iran fails to make a deal,Trump said,‘You’re going to see bridges and power plants dropping all over their country.’‘If they don’t make a deal and fast,I’m considering blowing everything up and taking over the oil.’Attacks on bridges have already begun today.Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at .For more stories like this,check our news page.
