He said U.S. President Trump will slink to Beijing as a loser and ought to watch Western civilization's decline from an Eastern vantage, rather than strutting like the victor. @TheBabylonTimes

📜 TRUMP DROPS BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA ON A BUNCH OF KIDS Trump hit a group of children with "Barack Hussein Obama. Have you heard of him?" at a public appearance.

📜 TRUMP DEMANDS IRAN WAVE WHITE FLAG OF SURRENDER Former US President Donald Trump told Iran to wave the white flag, figuring they've got no shot in a fight and know it. He claims Iranian officials admitted as much straight to him. @TheBabylonTimes | Forum

📜 TRUMP CLAIMS IRAN KILLED 42,000 PEOPLE LAST MONTH Trump's latest gem: Iran supposedly offed 42,000 folks just last month. No sources, no details, just the man's word dropped like it's gospel. @TheBabylonTimes | Forum

📜 TRUMP HOPES IRAN’S FINANCIAL SYSTEM FAILS Trump stated, "I hope Iran’s financial system fails." The ex-president's cheery wish for economic collapse comes amid ongoing tensions. @TheBabylonTimes | Forum

📜 TRUMP CLAIMS CNN SAYS HE HAS 100% GOP APPROVAL Trump stated that according to CNN, he boasts 100% approval within the Republican Party. Because nothing says credibility like citing your friendly neighborhood cable news outlet for unanimous party love. @TheBabylonTimes | Forum

📜 TRUMP CLAIMS US DESTROYED IRAN'S ARMY IN TWO WEEKS Trump doubled down on his tall tale, insisting the US military wiped out Iran's entire army in about two weeks. "The Iranians don't want to play with us. You'll see that. Over time, you'll see that. I think you've already seen it. We destroyed their entire army in about two weeks," he claimed. Just another round of his unsubstantiated bluster on the matter. @TheBabylonTimes | Forum

📜 IRANIAN PRESIDENT CALLS HIS NATION THE MORAL POWERHOUSE AMID ENEMIES' RECKLESS RAMPAGE Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian laid it out plain: Iran stands as the moral and responsible power these days. Its enemies? Just reckless, undisciplined force barreling ahead. @TheBabylonTimes

📜 TRUMP URGES IRAN TO DO THE SMART THING OR ELSE WE MIGHT HAVE TO KILL PEOPLE Trump, ever the reluctant warmonger, told Iran they should do the smart thing. Because we don’t want to go in and kill people — he doesn’t want to, doesn’t want to — it’s too tough.

“They should do the smart thing, because we don’t want to go in and kill people — I don’t want to, I don’t want to — it’s too tough.”

📜 TRUMP SAYS XI VERY NICE ON IRAN, CHINA DOESN'T CHALLENGE US Trump chimed in on Iran, noting Chinese President Xi has been "very nice" about the situation. He added the US hasn't been challenged by China, and they don't challenge the US—like that's some big revelation. @TheBabylonTimes | Forum

📜 TRUMP SAYS IRAN WANTS DEAL BUT PLAYS GAMES BY PUBLICLY DENYING TALKS Trump claims Iran is eager for a deal, yet gripes about their two-faced routine—respectful chats in private, then TV denials of speaking to the president. He calls it straight-up gamesmanship. @TheBabylonTimes | Forum

📜 MASSIVE US MILITARY REINFORCEMENTS HEAD TO MIDDLE EAST AMID ESCALATION TALK US military reinforcements—described as massive—have been spotted departing from the United States toward the Middle East.

📜 AMERICAN WRITER SINGER SAYS US ALLIES TRUST IRAN NEWS OVER LYING TRUMP American writer and singer points out the obvious: global trust in the US has tanked. US allies now take news reports from Iran more seriously than statements from the serially lying American madman. No one believes any word Trump says. @TheBabylonTimes

📜 IRAN'S VELEYATI MOCKS US NAVY CREW AS TRUMP ELECTION EXTRAS Ali Akbar Velayati, advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader on political affairs, fired off a message to the USS Tripoli crew, dubbing them mere "extras" in a cinematic stunt for Donald Trump's presidential bid. He reminded them history teaches well—the old Tripoli legend won't replay in the Gulf, but morph into a security nightmare instead. @TheBabylonTimes
