Former President Donald Trump issued a dire warning about President Biden’s foreign policy on Monday, predicting that once Iran amasses nuclear weapons, Biden will “beg Iran for mercy.”
Trump posted the scathing criticism of his successor Monday morning on Truth Social, his social media platform.
“Would somebody please inform our WORST President in history, Crooked Joe Biden, who doesn’t have a clue, that while he dithers around and illegally attacks his political opponent, ME, and is always trying to blame everyone else for the MANY, MANY, MANY mistakes he has made, IRAN IS RAPIDLY BUILDING A LARGE SCALE ARSENAL OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS,” Trump posted.
Trump added that negotiations will screech to a halt once Iran has built up its nuclear arsenal, imitating what he said will be Biden’s manner afterwards.
“Once they have them, which will be soon, all negotiations STOP. That’s when our incompetent fool of a President will drop to his knees and beg IRAN for mercy. ‘Please, Please, Please, Mr. Ayatollah, SIR, I will give you everything, I will do anything you demand. Don’t hurt us!'” Trump added.
“This is the position that this stupid fool has put us in,” the former president said.
Trump went on to say that towards the end of the Trump administration, Iran was “broke” with “no nuclear weapons or prospects,” but Biden made Iran “rich” and has “no idea what to do.”
Trump also accused Iran of being behind the Palestinian terror group Hamas’ deadly attacks on Israel last weekend that killed more than 1,400 people, including children. Israel is now waging a massive counteroffensive, launching airstrikes in Hamas-controlled territory and preparing for a ground offensive. As of Sunday, the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry said 2,670 Palestinians have been killed so far.
“They started the attack on Israel and desperately want to become openly involved,” Trump said. “‘Death to Israel,’ they chant. DON’T LET IRAN HAVE NUCLEAR WEAPONS!”
Biden said on CBS’ “60 Minutes” broadcast Sunday evening that so far, there is “no evidence” that Iran knew about Hamas’ attack beforehand or helped plan it.
The president also issued a warning to Iran not to interfere in the conflict, saying his message to Iran is, “Don’t. Don’t, don’t, don’t.”
Iran supports Hamas militarily, and last weekend’s terror attacks instantly prompted concerns about Iran’s role in the situation.
“Nobody has turned a blind eye to Iranian destabilizing behavior,” National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby told reporters last week, adding that while “Hamas wouldn’t have been able to function at all had it not been for propping up by the Iranian regime,” there is no “specific evidence” that Iran directly helped plan the attacks.
