President Donald J. Trump is back in the global spotlight—this time earning a striking new title from Russian media: “The President of War.”
The name comes in response to a massive U.S. military operation over the weekend targeting Iran’s underground nuclear weapons facilities. The attack, authorized by Trump, used America’s most powerful non-nuclear bomb—the 30,000-pound “bunker buster”—to neutralize key Iranian nuclear sites in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.
Trump’s goal? To eliminate the growing nuclear threat from the world’s #1 sponsor of terrorism—Iran.
Trump Authorizes Massive Strike on Iran’s Nuclear Network
Dubbed “Operation Midnight Hammer,” the military campaign involved over 125 U.S. aircraft and marked a major escalation in America’s efforts to prevent a nuclear-armed Iran. Trump supporters are calling it a bold show of strength. Critics, especially overseas, are crying foul.
This decisive action came after Iran ramped up threats against Israel and continued advancing its secretive nuclear program.
“The hits were hard and accurate,” President Trump said Sunday night on Truth Social.
“Iran’s illegal nuclear infrastructure was obliterated.”
Russian Media Melts Down Over Trump’s Strike
Russian officials, including President Vladimir Putin, wasted no time condemning the U.S. operation. Kremlin-backed newspapers took direct aim at Trump, calling him the “President of War” and accusing the U.S. of “unprovoked aggression.”
One headline in Rossiskaya Gazeta mocked Trump’s iconic slogan:
“Trump Makes America Wage War Again.”
Others speculated the strike signals the end of diplomacy between Washington and Moscow—particularly regarding the ongoing Russia–Ukraine conflict, where Trump previously played a mediator role.
Oil Markets on Edge as Iran Threatens to Retaliate
Iran’s regime, furious over the strike, has threatened to shut down the Strait of Hormuz—a critical global oil route handling over 25% of the world’s crude exports. Analysts warn such a move could send oil prices skyrocketing to $200 per barrel.
Higher fuel prices, supply chain chaos, and energy inflation could hit American families hard—especially seniors and retirees on fixed incomes.
Russian paper Moskovsky Komsomolets raised the alarm:
“Will Trump’s war drive oil to record highs? Prepare for economic shock.”
Trump Teases “Regime Change” in Iran
President Trump raised eyebrows Sunday by hinting at deeper goals in the region.
On Truth Social, he wrote:
“People don’t like the term ‘regime change’ these days… but if Iran’s current leadership can’t MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, then maybe it’s time for exactly that. MIGA!!!”
That single post has already gone viral—fueling speculation about what comes next.
Middle East at a Crossroads — Israel, Iran, and U.S. Interests Collide
With Iran and Israel locked in open conflict, the U.S. strike represents a major turning point. Hundreds have already been killed in missile exchanges, and Trump’s decision could reshape the balance of power in the Middle East for decades.
This isn’t just about foreign policy—it’s about American national security.
Global energy stability, U.S. military credibility, and freedom in the region are all on the line.
Putin’s Conflicted Message: Condemnation and Cooperation
While Putin called the U.S. action “unjustified,” his spokesman Dmitry Peskov took a more measured tone, suggesting Russia can still maintain diplomatic ties with both Iran and the United States.
“We have strategic relations with Iran,” Peskov said, “but also a growing dialogue with Washington. These can coexist.”
America Divided: Strength or Recklessness?
Trump’s supporters praise his strength and decisive leadership. Critics on the Left warn of a “new endless war.”
But for millions of Americans—especially those who lived through the Iran hostage crisis, 9/11, and decades of Middle Eastern chaos—Trump’s iron-fisted approach is the bold leadership they believe America needs right now.
