Donald Trump warns war will resume if Iran targets US troops, slamming a House vote to curb his war powers and dismissing claims of Iranian strength.
US-Iran Ceasefire: US President Donald Trump has stated that war could resume if Iran targets American troops. Speaking to journalists at the White House, Trump said, "They have neither a navy nor an air force; we have eliminated their leadership. Yet, you read in the fake news that they are doing very well in the war—it is unbelievable. They had 159 ships, and all of them are lying at the bottom of the sea. We have taken photos of them down there."

Democrats Driven by 'Trump Derangement Syndrome': US President
Taking to Truth Social, Trump wrote that those voting against him would rather see the country fail than allow him to achieve another victory.

The US President added that the Democrats are driven by 'Trump Derangement Syndrome', choosing to see the nation fail rather than granting him another win alongside his many other successes.
