US President Trump has declared that Iran is ‘hanging by a thread’ in his latest tirade on Truth Social – seemingly very upset at being called a ‘sucker’ and a ‘loser’.

His latest statement, posted on Truth Social on Tuesday evening, follows after Iran rejected Trump’s ceasefire extension and once again closed the vital Strait of Hormuz trade route – with Trump and the US being branded ‘losers’.

Trump has responded to the criticism, stating on Truth Social: “For 47 years, they have killed our people, and many others, and taken advantage of every President, except me – And what did I give to them, a Country in tatters!

“Their entire Navy is at the bottom of the Sea, their Air Force is gone, their Anti Aircraft and Radar is wiped out, their Nuclear Labs and Storage Areas were OBLITERATED late one dark June evening by our Great B-2 Bombers, their leaders are DEAD, including General Soleimani, their evil genius who destroyed the lives of so many with his favored roadside bombs, the Strait of Hormuz is BLOCKADED and totally controlled by the U.S., with no Ships allowed to go to Iranian Ports- It is said that they are losing 500 Million Dollars a day because of this – Their Country is an Economic Catastrophe, that is hanging by a thread.”

The outburst follows after the president was branded a “sucker” by a Wall Street Journal reporter.

The president didn’t respond well to the insult and hit back adding: “me being taken for a “sucker.” Iran certainly doesn’t think so! Neither does anyone else.” The US has been engaged in conflict with Iran since 28 February, with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20 per cent of global oil traded passes, causing supply and cost issues globally.

A temporary ceasefire is currently in effect but the nations have yet to find a long-term solution, with further negotiations anticipated.

The US has enforced a blockade on Iranian ports in the strait in an effort to stifle Iranian trade, lift the closure and pressure negotiations.

Trump also utilised his post to further disparage other US leaders: “Barack Hussein Obama gave them 1.7 Billion Dollars in “Green” Cash, flown in by a Boeing 757 to their leaders, and Hundreds of Billions of Dollars in order to help them on their way to a Nuclear Bomb.

“Other Presidents did nothing to stop them, a BLIGHT on the Office of the Presidency!”
