President Donald Trump said Friday he feels honoured to be killing Iran’s leadership, calling them “deranged scumbags.”“They’ve been killing innocent people all over the world for 47 years, and now I, as the 47th President of the United States of America, am killing them. What a great honour it is to do so!” Trump posted on social media shortly after midnight in Washington. Iran’s longtime supreme leader Ali Khamenei and numerous other top figures in Tehran have been killed since the war was launched by the United States and Israel on February 28. “We have unparalleled firepower, unlimited ammunition, and plenty of time — Watch what happens to these deranged scumbags today,” Trump posted on Truth Social. Trump’s defence secretary, Pete Hegseth, said the US military would bombard Iran more heavily on Friday than any other day so far in the war.
