Ghalibaf’s post, machine translation: “A massive attack is on the way… Wait, never mind; they want to negotiate.” This is the same diplomatic show that keeps playing out. Using intimidation, broken promises, and fake news as leverage is a failed strategy. Accept the facts and honor your commitments. We don’t need any more theatrics. mb_ghalibaf 📡 @VahidOnline

Trump’s post, machine translation: Fake News, as usual, is spreading false and completely baseless rumors. I am extremely pleased with Pete Hegseth’s performance. Everything has been fantastic—including our attack on Venezuela, which achieved its result in less than a day and enabled us to bring Nicolás Maduro, one of the worst criminals in the world, to justice! The situation with Iran is also going very well: it has been hit hard to ensure it never gets to acquire a nuclear weapon! Pete is held in very high regard among the military and has made major reforms, including dismantling Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies and raising recruitment to historic levels. This rumor was started by the “Washington Com-Post”—one of the worst media outlets in the business—even though we told them their report was completely false. In fact, I truly believe this fake “reporting” of theirs is treasonous! President Donald J. Trump realDonaldTrump about 📡 @VahidOnline

Trump’s post, machine-translated: The United States has vast quantities of “munitions,” especially of certain specific types. In addition, large amounts of munitions are being produced and shipped to the United States, as much as needed. Defense companies are building more factories and production facilities than at any time in our country’s history. Those who leaked these treasonous statements are being pursued. We will seek lengthy prison sentences for them! President DJT realDonaldTrump 📡 @VahidOnline

Washington Post: Trump and Hegseth clash at Camp David over concerns about dwindling missile stockpiles in the Iran war Machine translation: At this weekend’s meeting at Camp David, President Trump demanded an explanation from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth about severe munitions shortages. Frustration over the Iran war boiled over last week at Camp David, where U.S. President Donald Trump asked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to explain why he had apparently been misled about severe munitions shortages that are now limiting military options against Iran, according to two people familiar with the conversation who spoke to The Washington Post. The confrontation took place Friday on the sidelines of Trump’s Cabinet meeting at Camp David. According to both people familiar with the conversation, Trump angrily told Hegseth that he had thought the munitions problem was “solved.” Like others, the people spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation. According to one source, the shortages—particularly of long-range guided missiles and air-defense interceptors—were among the reasons Trump has pulled back in recent days from carrying out broader attacks against Iran. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, responding to questions from The Washington Post, said: “This story is 100 percent fake. It truly never happened. President Trump also has the utmost confidence in Secretary Hegseth.” Full Persian text 📡 @VahidOnline

Trump’s speech, the section on Iran — machine transcription and translation: “We’re doing very well in Venezuela. We’re getting a lot of oil from Venezuela, and our relationship with them is very good. Billions and billions of barrels of oil are coming out of Venezuela. Venezuela is one of the richest places in the world in terms of oil. And as you know, that was a 48-minute war; it lasted 48 minutes. And we’ve recovered the cost of the war many, many, many times over with what we’ve taken out of there. Where have you heard of anything like that before? Nowhere. It’s the old way, right? The old way. To the victor go the spoils, right? And, by the way, we’re doing the same thing in the ‘wonderful’ Islamic Republic of Iran. We’re pounding them pretty hard. I’d prefer to make a deal, because I don’t want to kill people. I don’t want to kill people. But at some point, we’re going to... We... We were prepared for the biggest attack of all the attacks, and we’ve hit them very hard over the past few months. But we were fully prepared for the biggest attack since World War II. They called me and said, ‘Please don’t do it. Let’s talk.’ Then they say, ‘We never said that.’ You know what? The fake media knows they said it. But we’re talking. We’ll see what happens. But they respect us. They have respect for us. It’s been 47 years; actually, it’s been 50 years, because for three years they’ve been saying 47 years. It’s been 50 years. No other president has done what should have been done a long time ago, because Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. It cannot have one. — And as soon as this situation with Iran is over, oil prices will plummet. Gas prices will come down too. 📡 @VahidOnline
