US President Donald Trump has taken a strongly critical stance against Iran, while also launching sharp attacks on former Democratic presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden, holding them responsible for what he described as years of failed US foreign policy.
In a lengthy and fiery statement shared on social media, President Trump accused Iran of deceiving the United States and the international community for the past 47 years, arguing that Tehran has deliberately prolonged diplomatic disputes while exploiting global tensions.
Trump specifically targeted former President Barack Obama, claiming that during his administration key US allies such as Israel were sidelined, while Iran was provided with billions of dollars, including what he described as $1.7 billion in cash transfers. He alleged that this funding gave Iran new financial strength, which he claimed was later used in activities that harmed American interests and contributed to acts of violence.
According to Trump, US financial institutions and resources were effectively used to support Iran, adding that even Iranian officials were reportedly surprised by the scale of financial assistance they received.
Turning to the current administration, Trump also criticized President Joe Biden, describing him as an even “worse and more failed” leader than Obama. He further claimed that during recent protests, Iran was responsible for the deaths of 42,000 unarmed civilians, asserting that the Iranian leadership had long taken advantage of perceived American weakness.
Trump concluded his remarks with a direct warning to Tehran, stating that “they will no longer be able to laugh,” a comment that analysts say reflects a more aggressive tone in his foreign policy messaging.
Political observers suggest that the statement signals a possible return to a “maximum pressure” approach against Iran, with heightened tensions expected in future US-Iran relations.
