All HELL BREAKS LOOSE as Trump Hit With IRAN COUNTER-STRIKE!!
What was said
"Trump regime officials told CNN and Axios that the point of striking Iran was for punishment, not for proportion. They say we needed to punish Iran."
Senior Trump administration officials explicitly stated to major news outlets that US military strikes on Iranian coastal cities were intended as punishment rather than proportional response. Iran responded by warning that the era of bullying is over and threatening to target infrastructure in UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, and Qatar in ways that would deprive America of regional oil and gas for years.
