U.S. President Donald Trump threatened Iran in a post he wrote on his social media platform Truth Social. He wrote: "We are completely destroying the Iranian terror regime - militarily and economically. Their navy is gone and so is their air force, as well as the missiles, the drones and everything else. Their leaders have been wiped off the face of the Earth. We have unprecedented firepower, unlimited ammunition and plenty of time. See what happens to those deranged scum today. They have been killing innocent people all over the world for 47 years, and now I, as the 47th president of the United States of America, am killing them."
