Trump indulged in lies and hype to pacify Americans angry about the war

Crescent International

Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu: Two war criminals who belong in prison for the crimes they have committed against innocent people.

Donald Trump’s much-hyped speech (April 01) turned out to be a rehash of the nonsense he has uttered ever since he returned to the White House in January 2025.

Here are some salient points of his speech:

1: No nuclear weapons for Iran; they are a threat to the US and Israel;

2: Iranian proxies were responsible for bombing the marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon;

3: He even blamed Iran for attack on the USS Cole of October 2000 in Aden, Yemen. It was carried out by al-Qaeda;

4: He alleged “45,000 Iranian protesters” were killed in December 2025 – January 2026.

How he came up with this fantastic figure when an estimated 3,000 people were killed, we do not know. The vast majority were killed by US-zionist agents.

5: He boasted about killing General ‘Solomany’. He admitted committing a war crime.

6: He also boasted about terminating Barack Obama’s horrible deal (JCPOA 2015); and gave $1.7 billion to Iran;

7: They would have had a nuclear weapon with Obama’s deal but “I stopped them”;

8: We totally obliterated their nuclear sites;

9: Iran has developed conventional missiles; they would soon have had missiles that would threaten the US; we took them all out;

10: Again, Iran cannot have a nuclear bomb; for years people said so, but only I took action;

11: Iran’s navy has been obliterated; its air force is gone; missiles are just about gone or about to be gone. One wonders how Iran is able to fire drones and missiles at US military bases in the region and at zionist Israel every day, including today (April 01).

12: While claiming the US armed forces have performed tremendously well, he again said, no nuclear weapons for Iran;

13: We are going to finish the job, without defining what the job is.

14: Thanked allies in the Middle East: Saudi Arabia, Israel, UAE, Bahrain, Qatar;

15: In trying to assure the American public, he claimed gas price hikes are because of Iran (he referred to it as the “terrorist regime”) attacking tankers but will be “short term”.

16: This, Trump claimed had nothing to do with the war. Gas prices will come down once the war is over. How that will occur, he did not explain.

17: I have built the best US economy ever;

18: Again, no nuclear weapons for Iran;

19: Under my leadership, we are the #1 oil producer in the world. We are also getting oil from Venezuela;

The US produces more oil than Saudi Arabia and Russia combined;

20: We have completely decimated Iran, militarily and economically;

21: Those who get oil from the Persian Gulf, should go and open the Stait of Hormuz; we will help;

22: They should develop some courage; and also buy oil from us;

23: When the war is over, Hormuz will automatically open; prices will come down. How this will happen was not explained.

24: Our economy is strong and will come roaring back;

25: Operation Epic Fury will achieve all of our military objectives, we will hit them very hard;

26: Regime change was not our objective but has occurred; The new leaders are much more “moderate”.

27: If there is no deal, will hit all of their electric generating plants. This constitutes a war crime. We have not hit their oil facilities;

28: Their radars are obliterated;

29: Their nuclear sites are so badly damaged, it will take them years to recover;

30: In trying to mollify people’s concerns about the war that nearly 75 percent of Americans oppose, he drew comparison with the first and second world wars, the Vietnam and Korean wars that lasted for years. This one has only lasted for 32 days and will end in 2-3 weeks. How that would occur, he did not say.

31: The war, he claimed, is an “investment in your and your children’s future”. Again, he did not explain how that was the case.

32: Every American can look forward to a nuclear-free Iran, the world is watching;

33: When it’s all over, we would have achieved our objectives.

What precisely are those objectives, Trump did not say apart from repeating in every second sentence that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons.

If Iran wanted nuclear weapons, it would have had them by now.

A day before his live televised broadcast, Trump had indulged in his typical incoherent rant with the New York Post.

He told the paper that he believes the Iran war is likely to end soon and that other nations can reopen the Strait of Hormuz without US military action.

This was meant to assure a jittery stock market, leading to its rally and optimism that elevated fuel costs will drop.

“We’re not going to be there too much longer.”

So here you have it; the most nonsensical speech from an American president who lies every time he opens his mouth.
