Washington DC: US President Donald Trump on Wednesday threatened to “finish off" what is left of Iranian “terror" state. The President also targeted allies of America who are “non-responsive” amidst the ongoing war between US-Israel and Iran.

In a post on his Truth Social account, Trump wrote, “I wonder what would happen if we “finished off” what’s left of the Iranian Terror State, and let the Countries that use it, we don’t, be responsible for the so called “Straight?” That would get some of our non-responsive “Allies” in gear, and fast!!!"

‘Putting Them Out Of Business'

Trump also called Iran the “number one state sponsor of terror” and stressted that the US military are rapidly putting the “out of business".

NATO’s ‘Foolish' Mistake

Trump's attack on “non-responsive" allies comes a day after he accused NATO allies of making a “foolish mistake" by not helping USA secure the Strait of Hormuz. This comes after many NATO allies informed America that they don’t want to get involved with US military operation against the Iran.

Reacting to the NATO allies' stance, Trump said that USA does not need anyone's help. He said, “We will protect them, but they will do nothing for us, in particular, in a time of need…Because of the fact that we have had such Military Success, we no longer “need,” or desire, the NATO Countries’ assistance — WE NEVER DID! Likewise, Japan, Australia, or South Korea. In fact, speaking as President of the United States of America, by far the Most Powerful Country Anywhere in the World, WE DO NOT NEED THE HELP OF ANYONE!"
