WASHINGTON D.C. — Donald Trump published a Truth Social post praising the president’s handling of Iran, framing warnings and follow-through as an example of statesmanship.

Here is the full post on truthsocial: “Our President gave Iran every possible chance to finally reform its conduct, give up its role as the no. one sponsor of global terrorism and join with productive nations. He warned them of the consequences of continuing on their lawless barbaric path. But their “leaders” know only lawless terrorist behavior and now our President is delivering on his warnings. That is how true Statesmanship operates!!! @realDonaldTrump” on August 21, 2026 at 1:28 PM ET.
