President Donald Trump delivered a stark Iran warning during a live broadcast, which frustrated conservatives.
On July 19, Argentina took on Spain in the FIFA World Cup final. The two nations went head-to-head at MetLife Stadium, designated as New York/New Jersey Stadium by the tournament, in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Following Argentina's crushing 1-0 defeat to Spain, President Donald Trump, 80, made his way to Joint Base Andrews in Prince George's County, Maryland.
During his visit to the air base, Trump fielded questions from NewsNation reporters, which is when he issued his warning to the Middle Eastern nation. The incident follows a lip reader's revelation of Gianni Infantino's urgent appeal to Trump that he disregarded in an embarrassing exchange. Initially, Trump described the match, stating: "It was great. It was a great event, yes," reports the Irish Star. It comes after desperate Trump told a reporter 'you don't know anything' after being exposed.

Trump subsequently shifted the discussion to the Iranian regime and declared, "Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Iran has been very, very damaged. They have lost everything almost militarily. They've got some missiles. They've got some drones. We control the Strait. They don't control anything. So we'll see what happens."
"We hit them hard tonight, and we did in honor of the probably three as opposed to two great patriots," he concluded. Viewers took to social media to condemn Trump's remarks, arguing he was spreading falsehoods while on camera.
One viewer wrote, "While he spouts bull---t, how many dead soldiers does this maniac have at his disposal?" Another added, "The Strait of Hormuz is closed, though! This guy doesn't know what's going on! So he flat-out lies to the camera!"
A third commented, "Can't even complete a coherent sentence! So all he does is hurl one lie after another!" Despite the backlash, Trump did have at least one supporter, who posted, "Two more weeks! Iran is done! And the price of everything is coming down!"
Trump's most recent prior remarks about Iran came during his primetime address on July 16, where he covered a broad range of topics, including election security concerns ahead of the November midterms, before turning to the ongoing conflict.
The president asserted that the U.S. had not experienced a single defeat in the war and reassured Americans that tangible results would be forthcoming.
Trump stated, "We are making a record investment with our armed forces. We have the strongest, most powerful military by far anywhere in the world. I built it during my first term. And unfortunately, we're forced to use it now. We won in Venezuela, which is now working with us to produce millions and millions of oil.
"We are likewise winning big in Iran," Trump boasted. "You will see the fruits of that labor very, very shortly." This follows Trump's startling gaffe during the medal ceremony, which preceded what many described as "poor sportsmanship."
It comes after a lip reader exposed FIFA boss Gianni Infantino's desperate plea to Trump that he ignored in a humiliating moment.
