[Trump Makes Frequent Statements on Iran Situation: Claims Iranian Missiles Affected Five Countries, War May Be Protracted] 1. On July 13, US President Trump made a series of public statements regarding the escalating US-Iran conflict. Speaking about Iran's missile attacks on multiple countries, he stated that Iran "launched missiles at five countries that were completely unaware," and called Tehran "completely unpredictable, just a bunch of lunatics." 2. Trump also mentioned the 2020 US killing of Qassem Soleimani, former commander of the Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, stating that "Soleimani was planning to destroy several of our military facilities in Iran," implying the legitimacy of the US strike. 3. When asked by a reporter, "You've been bombing Iran for months, is this going to become the norm?" Trump compared the current situation to the Vietnam War, responding, "We fought in Vietnam for 19 years, and this has only been four months." This statement suggests that the US may be preparing for a protracted response towards Iran, and does not rule out the possibility of a prolonged military operation.
