Trump mocks Iran’s retaliatory strike, calls it ‘very weak’

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has downplayed Iran’s recent missile attacks on a U.S. military base in Qatar, dismissing the retaliation as “very weak” and unthreatening.

Speaking on Monday, Trump claimed that Tehran’s strike lacked impact and seriousness, despite being a direct response to the United States’ bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities. He also suggested that Iran gave what he described as “early notice,” implying that U.S. forces were not caught off guard by the missile launch.

“Iran has officially responded to our Obliteration of their Nuclear Facilities with a very weak response, which we expected, and have very effectively countered,” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform, after multiple missiles were launched toward the Al Udeid base in Qatar.

“I want to thank Iran for giving us early notice, which made it possible for no lives to be lost, and nobody to be injured,” he added.
