US on ignominious retreat

Published Updated

US President Donald Trump seems to have changed his stance on military intervention in Iran. Now he’s displaying a “watch it and see” posture, citing assurances from “very important sources on the other side” indicating that Tehran has ceased using lethal force against demonstrators and it was also not carrying out hangings.

It is increasingly clear that the US President is on an ignominious retreat ever since the Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei accused the US President of being responsible for casualties during a protest wave in the country.

According to Khamenei, “This was an American conspiracy. America’s goal is to swallow Iran … the goal is to put Iran back under military, political and economic domination.”

Be that as it may, it is increasingly clear that the US President got spooked by the courageous behavior of the leadership of Islamic republic. (Karachi)
