The criticism came after former President Donald J. Trump posted on social media Friday, asserting that his administration was “totally destroying the terrorist regime of Iran” through military and economic action and claiming Iranian forces and leadership had been decimated. Trump’s post received more than 30,000 likes and was widely shared on social media.
Yousef’s comments have drawn tens of thousands of views, highlighting ongoing skepticism about U.S. policy in the Middle East.
Mr. President, you have miserably failed to remove Hamas from power, what makes you believe you have what it takes to defeat the Islamic Republic? pic.twitter.com/SdeLGdQ1LX

Of course he’s 100% right about Hamas! How could Israel leave them in Gaza after all the bloodshed and war??? Undeniably Israel should have completely retaken Gaza and made it Jewish again!!!
Hes being too harsh. Iran’s level of threat to Israel has decreased tenfold, even if the war would stop now. Far better that US and Israel is bombing the heck out of them.
Hamas is an ideology and it’s shared by everyone who lives in Gaza. Unless you’re planning to kill everyone how are you supposed to get rid of Hamas. At least the threat level has been severely impacted. It’s pretty much the most you can do everywhere
Easy to criticize – short of flattening Gaza with carpet bombing, what are his ideas on how to do it?
1. I fully hear where Son of Hamas is coming from, because this is all what he knows. In Gaza there is indeed 85% support Hamas ideology, as evident during Oct.7 and the ensuing days. However more than the opposite is true for Iran where 95% DO NOT SUPPORT THE REGIME. The 5% radical Shia minority rule with extreme corruption & force.
2. Gaza has no oil and unless Trump actually envisions some Trump Hotel & Golf Resort pipe dream on Mediterranean coast, he couldn’t care less
Trump, keep up the good work!
Yes, I agree with him. The war with Iran is very far from seeing the Ayatoliet’s regimes end,,,
Trump literally said “he’d feel it in his bones” when he’d decide, all by himself, to end his WAR. wow…
Does this surprisingly vehement response AGAINST the justified war on Iran sound like his usual rhetoric we’ve become accustomed to hearing from the ‘Green Prince’ in recent years, especially since the massacre of 10/7?
I read his book and it was amazing. That said, attacking our greatest champion publicly is a terrible thing to do.
Being a Hamas insider doesn’t necessarily make you a major export but he is correct that so far trump and Bibi have been pro hamas
