Trump Promises To Bomb Iran So Hard New Targets Suddenly Exist
KEY POINTS
- â˘At 6 a.m. ET Saturday, Trump announced potential new bombing targets in Iran due to 'bad behavior'.
- â˘Iranâs president instructed armed forces not to strike neighbors unless attacked first, aiming to de-escalate.
- â˘Energy prices surged sharply, with gasoline up 43 cents and diesel up 71 cents over the past week.
Early Saturday at 6 a.m. ET, President Trump woke up and decided Iran needed a fresh bombing upgrade, threatening 'complete destruction and certain death' not just for usual suspects but also 'areas and groups' previously off the target list. Despite Iranâs president politely ordering their forces to keep their strikes neighborly-only-if-attacked first, Trumpâs Truth Social declaration doubled down on pounding Tehran harder. Meanwhile, back home, American wallets face a nightmare: gasoline prices surged 43 cents in one week, hitting February 2024 highs, with truckers sobbing as diesel spikes 71 cents in seven days, courtesy of GasBuddyâs Patrick De Haanâthe only man who seems to love tracking fuel prices this much.
