Washington, June 24 (V7N) — Following Iran’s strikes on U.S. military installations in Qatar and Iraq,  U.S. President Donald Trump took to his social media platform, Truth Social, to post multiple reactions. In a notably sarcastic tone, Trump wrote, “Congratulations world, it’s time for peace.”
 
Commenting on the nature of Iran’s attacks, Trump downplayed their severity, describing Iran’s response as “very weak.” He added, “Thank you for giving us advance notice.”
 
Trump’s remarks come amid heightened tensions in the Middle East after recent escalations between Iran and Israel triggered broader instability across the region. The strikes on U.S. bases mark a significant development, though early reports suggest they caused limited damage.
 
U.S. defense officials have yet to confirm the full scope of the attacks or the level of preparedness prior to the strikes. However, Trump’s comments indicate that the former president views the situation as an opportunity to de-escalate rather than retaliate.
 
Observers note that his statement could be interpreted both as criticism of the current U.S. administration's handling of Middle East policy and as a signal to his supporters ahead of the upcoming U.S. elections.
