PNN – In an attempt to talk down fuel prices in his country, Trump claimed: We have almost total control over the Strait of Hormuz!
According to the report of Pakistan News Network; U.S. President Donald Trump claimed today, Wednesday: I am pleased to announce that the last American troops are leaving [Iraq]. We have been fighting in Iraq for 23 years—a war that has resulted in the deaths of 4,500 soldiers and left another 31,000 wounded!
The US President claimed: We are leaving Iraq with an outstanding prime minister in office. The withdrawal of coalition troops and equipment from Erbil Air Base marks the end of a military presence that began years ago. I faced a choice: stay in Iraq or leave. I decided that the time had come for Americans to return home.
Then, reverting to his habit of self-aggrandizement, he claimed: I defined a clear mission, provided our commanders with the necessary tools to carry it out, and did not allow a temporary presence to turn into a permanent one. Today is a great day for America, a victory for the United States and Iraq, and a decisive victory over ISIS! Unlike the withdrawal from Afghanistan, the process of pulling troops and equipment out of Erbil is proceeding in an orderly fashion! This orderly withdrawal from Erbil marks the end of a very costly undertaking.
This is happening even though, according to Iraqi media circles, the United States has ostensibly withdrawn its equipment from Iraq but is, in practice, pursuing its nefarious missions in the country through other means.
Furthermore, the U.S. claim of victory over the terrorists—who were manufactured by a Western-Hebrew-Arab axis—stands in stark contrast to the fact that, during the 2016 presidential election campaign, the U.S. leader himself had identified the Democratic administration in his own country as responsible for creating these terrorists, thereby exposing this reality.
Regarding Iran, Donald Trump—repeating familiar talking points aimed at influencing the congressional midterm elections and engaging in rhetoric intended to lower domestic fuel prices—claimed: You will soon see developments concerning Iran. We have almost complete control over the Strait of Hormuz! The volume of oil we moved through the Strait of Hormuz over the past three days was unprecedented in history! We will soon achieve victory. We have lost only 18 military personnel [during the aggression against Iran]!
Unable to conceal his savage nature regarding the illegal aggression against Iran, he claimed: Iran lost 4,500 people in this war. Iran’s economy has been devastated, and we will triumph in the war against Tehran by any means necessary!
Trump continued his rhetoric by stating: We possess the world’s largest economy and have attracted $21 trillion in capital. During my seventeen months in office, no one has entered the United States illegally.
