Trump’s Rage at Iran Takes Truly Scary Turn, and Even MAGA Is Unnerved
ONP 요약
President Trump has reiterated a threat to strike Iran’s fortified Pickaxe Mountain, while U.S. officials emphasize that economic sanctions are the primary tool to pressure Tehran. Simultaneously, Trump claims negotiations with Iran are underway, though Iranian officials deny any talks, amid ongoing tensions with Israel and the broader region.
진보 성향:Aggressive threat — progressive outlets portray Trump’s threat to strike Pickaxe Mountain as a reckless escalation that risks war.
중도 성향:Sanctions focus — moderate outlets emphasize economic pressure as the main strategy, noting uncertainty about negotiations.
보수 성향:Negotiation narrative — conservative outlets highlight Trump’s claim of friendly talks with Iran, framing the threat as a deterrent.
On Fox News, Donald Trump threatened to bomb all of Iran’s bridges and all of its power plants.
Making this worse, Trump declared that his threat could leave all of Iran’s 91 million people without power.
That may be the first time Trump has explicitly said this threat could apply to Iran’s entire population, which would constitute an extraordinary atrocity.
Though Trump presented this as something he’d be reluctant to do, the key is he still confirmed it’s under consideration.
Meanwhile, many MAGA figures are very upset about Trump’s new meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu, fearing it portends an escalation: As Steve Bannon put it, this is a “disaster for America First.” MAGA doesn’t care much about Iranians, but Trump’s escalation threats do rattle them for other reasons.
