WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump has launched a sharp attack on his critics over his Iran policy, dismissing them in strong terms and intensifying the political debate in Washington over his administration’s approach to Tehran.

In a post on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump responded to those who argue that he has not taken a tough enough stance against Iran. He said such individuals are either motivated by jealousy, have ill intentions, or simply lack understanding.

Trump claimed that critics were ignoring what he described as positive economic indicators in the United States, including record-high stock market performance and declining oil prices. According to him, these developments reflect the effectiveness of his administration’s broader policy direction.

He further criticized opponents, stating that those questioning his Iran strategy were “jealous, bad people, or foolish,” while highlighting what he presented as achievements in both domestic and international economic conditions.

The remarks come at a time when the US administration is facing mixed reactions over recent diplomatic engagement and agreements involving Iran, with supporters praising efforts to reduce regional tensions while critics warn that the long-term consequences remain uncertain.

Political observers say Trump’s latest comments are aimed at reinforcing his position that his Iran policy is producing measurable benefits, both in global energy markets and the US economy, despite ongoing controversy.

The statement has once again fueled heated debate in American political circles over the direction and impact of US foreign policy toward Iran.
