→ Trump’s Threat: “We Will Send Iran Back to the Stone Age”
In his recent address to the nation, Trump clearly declared, “In the coming two to three weeks, America will launch a very severe attack on Iran. We will send them back to the Stone Age, where they belong.” He also spoke of targeting Iran’s power plants.
This statement came at a time when the United States has already carried out strikes under “Operation Epic Fury,” yet Trump himself continues to send contradictory signals — sometimes claiming “We have already won,” and at other times saying “The fight is still not over.”
→ Strong Reaction from US Lawmakers
Trump’s threat triggered heavy criticism in the US Congress. Democratic Congresswoman Yasamin Ansari from Arizona said, “He is talking about a country with 90 million people. This is disgusting, horrifying, and terrible.”
Senator Chris Van Hollen from Maryland directly called Trump “a danger to America and the world.” He stated, “Trump lied to us, as he always does. Two weeks ago he said ‘We have won.’ If that is true, then why are we still there? What comes next? From Trump, we can only expect more lies.”
Van Hollen further warned, “This delusional man is a threat to our country and the entire world.”
Several other Democratic lawmakers described Trump’s policy as a “reckless war of choice” and demanded action under the War Powers Resolution.
→ Trump’s Erratic Statements: From Macron to NATO
Trump’s controversial remarks are not limited to Iran. During a recent private lunch, he made highly inappropriate comments about French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte Macron. Imitating a French accent, Trump said, “Macron — whose wife treats him extremely badly. He is still recovering from the right hook to the jaw.”
The comment referred to a May 2025 video in which Brigitte Macron appeared to push her husband’s face while disembarking from a plane. France had dismissed it as a private joke and part of a disinformation campaign. However, Trump linked it to France’s “insufficient support” in the Iran war.
Macron responded sharply, calling Trump’s comments “neither elegant nor up to standard.” He accused the Trump administration of “saying the opposite of what was said the previous day” and stated, “We need stability, peace, and balance. This is not a show.”
Trump has also repeatedly called NATO a “paper tiger” and launched sharp attacks on European allies, including critical remarks against the British government.
→ Iran’s Counter-Strategy and Its Impact on America
Iran responded to Trump’s threat with the message “You know nothing” and released videos of missile launches bearing anti-Trump slogans. Iran’s Axis of Resistance (including Hezbollah and the Houthis) continues to maintain pressure in the region.
The entire conflict is already affecting the American economy — oil prices have risen, inflation risks have increased, and people have taken to the streets. In many cities, protests with slogans like “No War with Iran” are growing louder.
→ Questions Raised About Trump’s Mental Condition
Trump’s continuous contradictory statements, personal attacks, and extremely aggressive language have led many in America to question his **mental health**. Some Democratic lawmakers have already described him as “mentally incapacitated.”
Demands for action against Trump are gaining momentum in Congress.Democratic leaders argue that his behavior as President has become a danger to both the country and the world. Even some Republicans are maintaining silence or offering mild criticism.
Public dissatisfaction in the United States is also rising. Inflation, the cost of war, and uncertainty have damaged Trump’s popularity. Many analysts describe this as “the result of Trump’s war-mongering policy.”
→ Challenges for the Future
The Iran war has now become a battle not only on the military front but also on the political and psychological levels. Trump’s “America First” policy is pushing allies away, while Iran is effectively countering with its asymmetric warfare capabilities — drones, missiles, and proxy networks.
The growing anger in Congress and among the American public poses a major challenge for the Trump administration. If the situation worsens further, it could significantly impact the midterm elections.
→ Conclusion: War of Words or a Real Crisis?
Trump’s Iran policy and his erratic statements have gone far beyond foreign policy issues. They are now raising serious questions about America’s internal politics, relations with allies, and even the credibility of the President himself.
The personal attack on Macron, calling NATO a paper tiger, sharp criticism of Britain, and the threat to send Iran back to the Stone Age — all these together paint a picture in which Trump’s aggression is weakening his own position.
The criticism from US lawmakers and the public outrage clearly show that the war is not only being fought on the battlefield but also on the streets of Washington and in the halls of Congress.
A President who makes inappropriate comments about allied leaders’ wives, insults NATO, and threatens a major country with returning it to the Stone Age — questions about his decisions are inevitable.
Future conflicts will not be decided only by weapons, but by balanced strategy, stable statements, and credible leadership. Trump’s current phase is proving that a war of words can sometimes cause even more damage than an actual war.
