Donald Trump appeared to offer confirmation that the United States is now participating in Israel’s attack on Iran in a Tuesday social media post.

Amid escalating tensions and the exchange of bombings after Israel attacked Iranian nuclear facilities last week, Trump has faced questions about the extent of U.S. involvement in the conflict.

In a new post on Truth Social using the term “We,” Trump wrote: “We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran. Iran had good sky trackers and other defensive equipment, and plenty of it, but it doesn’t compare to American made, conceived, and manufactured “stuff.” Nobody does it better than the good ol’ USA.”

    So is Trump claiming that in under 12 hours the US cleared the entirety of Iran of air defense systems?

      With how powerful our military and air force is honestly it’s more believable than not.

        As powerful as it is, it’s still bound by laws of physics and all. They need to go there, setup camp, plan, execute, etc.

        The US Army is strong, sure, but it ain’t a god

      Given how insanely powerful the US Armed Forces can be, objectively speaking, that’s honestly not entirely unbelievable.
