The President of the United States has been branded “out of control” after sharing an update about the war in the Middle East. On Monday, April 6, Donald Trump addressed the world to provide new information on the ongoing conflict in Iran.
It has now been more than a month since the US military began cooperating with Israel to overthrow the Iranian regime. However, during the press conference, it was alleged that Trump revealed a “secret” in a performance that has been described as completely “irregular”.
Americans are now declaring they are refusing to believe his alleged “lies” as conflict continues across the Middle East, with Trump threatening further action if the Strait of Hormuz fails to reopen this week. Social media commentator Jez World has now shared his comments regarding the press conference.
He said, “Wow, Trump’s press conference is one for the books. Wild stuff coming out of there. He admitted that Iran’s military was very powerful, and then we found out there were hundreds of commandos in this operation.”
“Not just 100, hundreds. They won’t even say how many actually. Then we found out that an A-10 was downed in this operation. It was hit by enemy fire and the pilot had to fly over friendly territory, bail out, and then the plane crashed.”

He added: “So we also lost an A-10 and we’re learning that they were able to identify the pilot, the weapons officer, apparently using advanced satellite technology. They had to wait until he had moved far enough to positively identify, and he was at high altitude in the mountains, and they used this disinformation campaign to keep those Iranian forces off their track.
“We are learning how dangerous this was. Not all members of the military were involved in their operation,” Trump said.
“There were some people who didn’t want to do it, because it was too dangerous, and then he said he was going to run for president of Venezuela – that he’s going to go further there than anybody else.
“Guys, that’s really great, and he kept saying over and over again that no one was injured in the operation, there were some minor injuries and everyone is going to be OK. So we don’t even know how many people were injured in this operation.”
Jai’s assessment is based on information that emerged after last week’s rescue operation. It has since been verified that the US relied on dozens of aircraft, hundreds of personnel, classified CIA technology, and a degree of subterfuge to evacuate a two-man F-15E fighter jet crew after an incident in Iran.
It is reported that the US military successfully rescued the pilot within a few hours of the jet going down late on Thursday night. Meanwhile, the other aviator onboard – a weapons systems officer – was rescued about two days later.
Gen. Dan Kane, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, confirmed that the A-10 Warthog, the attack aircraft primarily tasked with maintaining contact with the downed pilot on the ground, was shot down by enemy fire while engaging Iranian forces.
It was noted that the A-10 was “unlandable”, yet the pilot flew to an Allied base before bailing out of the aircraft. He was immediately rescued and is said to be fine.
Since Jay’s video was shared, thousands of people have viewed it, with dozens of people leaving comments to share their thoughts on the press conference, with some accusing him of “lying.” One person said: “I don’t believe anything they say.”
Another said: ‘As always it was a complete joke.’ A third replied: “Couldn’t finish listening. He’s out of control.”
Meanwhile, a fourth commented: “I believe about 1/50 of what Trump says.” Another also wrote: “Do we really trust him anymore?”
