Speaking throughout the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) annual fundraising dinner in Washington DC last night, Trump said Iranian officials were ‘afraid to say it because they figure they’ll be killed by their very own people’.
He added that the the US are ‘decimating Iran’ and that the Mullahs are also ‘afraid they’ll be killed by us’.
Iran was lashed with heavy strikes overnight, with missile attacks reported in the town of Isfahan, which is home to a significant Iranian air base.
The US has sent a 15-point plan to finish the war to Iran, which reportedly include demands for a rollback of Iran’s nuclear programme and shipping access through the Strait of Hormuz.
Tehran dismissed the plan and called the American demands ‘excessive’ and ‘not positive’.
Iranian state media has said the country has its own five-point proposal for negotiations.
The regime’s defiance irked US President, who threatened to ‘unleash hell’ if Iran doesn’t accept defeat.
It comes as greater than 10,000 military targets in Iran have been struck for the reason that war began last month, in response to US Central Command.
Trump will even dispatch greater than 1,000 extra troops from an airborne assault unit to the Middle East.
