President Trump shared jaw-dropping video footage Monday of a massive explosion in Iran reportedly caused by a US airstrike on a large ammunition depot in Isfahan. A “high volume” of 2,000-pound bunker buster bombs was used in the strike posted by Trump on Truth Social, a US official told the Wall Street Journal.

and that other nations can reopen the Strait of Hormuz themselves — after he posted to social media a video of huge explosions near Isfahan that he said hit “a lot of stuff.” “We’re not going to be there too much longer.

We’re obliterating the s–t out of them right now, it’s a total obliteration,” the president said in a phone interview. “But we won’t have to be there much longer — but we have more work to do in terms of killing their offensive, whatever offensive capability they have left.”“Well, I think it’ll automatically open, but my attitude is, I’ve obliterated the country. They have no strength left, and let the countries that are using the strait, let them go and open it… because I would imagine whoever’s controlling the oil will be very happy to open the strait, he said.

My sole function was to make sure that they don’t have a nuclear weapon. They’re not going to have a nuclear weapon. When we leave the strait will automatically open.”, a major city outside of which Iran operated a nuclear facility, but said he was surprised at the size of the explosion, which he said showed a substantial on-the ground payload. “I’d rather not say, but you’ll learn soon enough. They were rather large, weren’t they?” Trump said. “It’ll come out, but it was just another one of their wonderful areas that we took care of,” he went on. “That was a beauty. That was a beauty. That was stuff that we blew up. That was some explosion,” Trump marveled.“It was actually bigger than we thought, meaning they had a lot of stuff. Well, we’re taking away their nuclear capability, and we’ve achieved regime change. You know, we’re dealing right now with a totally different group of people, and they’re much more reasonable than previous, much more reasonable.“I don’t want to say that,” Trump said. “I can’t talk to you about this stuff, all of it. Okay? I just can’t talk to you. It’s so ridiculous, right? What do you want me to give, my strategy? Do you want me to give you my strategy?” Despite forecasting a rapid end to the war, Trump has left his options open by also deploying thousands of US troops to the region for possible land assaults — including two Marine Corps amphibious ready groups and Army parachute specialists.Judge berates IT worker who helped him with computer glitch in viral clip Why TSA workers in Atlanta are being ordered to give back gift cards that Tyler Perry handed out during shutdownPentagon preparing for weeks of ground operations in Iran — as Trump warned regime to ‘get serious’ about peace deal: reportStream It Or Skip It: 'Jo Nesbø's Detective Hole' On Netflix, Where A Troubled Detective Tracks Down A Serial Killer Who Is Terrorizing Oslo
