Trump Links Iran War to 9/11 at Pentagon Memorial

At the Pentagon memorial on September 11, US President Donald Trump connected the Iran war to the 9/11 attacks, praising the US military’s role in the ‘war on terror’. His decision to stay in Washington for the memorial, while Vice-President JD Vance attended the Ground Zero event in New York, sparked varied responses.

Trump saluted every member of the United States military who served in the ‘war on terror’. He described the enemies as those who plot to curb US power and kill its citizens, including Islamic terrorists abroad and at home. Trump called these adversaries part of an Islamic theocracy that has wished death upon the US for nearly half a century. He asserted, “We’re still sending terrorists where they belong – to hell,” and praised the strong, brave warriors who volunteer when it matters most, saying, “send me.”
