FLASHBACK: Trump praised the role of nuclear sub in Iran strikes

president Donald Trump revealed Friday’s plans to re -put nuclear divers, where he and former President of Russia were to increase Trump’s pressure on Moscow to end the war with Ukraine.

After Trump announced a new deadline for Russia to end the conflict with Ukraine in early August, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on Monday that the announcement was “an additional step towards war.”

“Based on the very provocative statements of the former president of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, who is now the vice -president of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, I have ordered two nuclear submarines in the appropriate areas, only in the case of these foolish and inflammatory statements more than that,”

Officials said this announcement comes a few weeks after Trump praised the march submarine contributions directed at the strikes against Iran, which fired more than twenty flight missiles in Tomahawk on the main Iranian targets.

“By the way, if anyone believes that” our devices “were wonderful during the weekend, the strongest and best equipment we have provided, 20 years on the package, is our nuclear submarines,” Trump said on June 23. “It is the most powerful weapon ever, and just launched Tomahawks – all 30 have completely hit their mark. So, in addition to our great fighter pilots, thank you for the captain and the crew!”

The task, which targeted Iranian nuclear facilities, Ford, Natanz and Estehan, included more than 125 American aircraft, including B-2 launchers, according to the head of the joint chiefs of staff, General Dan Kane.

Kane did not reveal the name of the submarine that participated in Iran’s strikes. However, he said that “Michael’s submarine” was involved.

Four of Ohio’s submarines in the US Navy has been transformed into march submarines directed to accommodate traditional wild attacks, as well as special operating forces platforms. These submarines are Ohio, Florida, Michigan and Georgia, according to the American Navy.

All US marine submarines are working with nuclear energy, and Trump has not revealed additional details surrounding the submarines that will be re -placed amid increasing tension with Russia. It is extremely rare for defense officials to suspend or detect submarine sites, given the very classified nature of their pamphlets and movements.

Trump initially announced on July 14 that he would sign a “severe tariff” against Russia if Moscow fails to agree to a peace agreement within 50 days. However, Trump said on Monday that waiting for that time period was useless with the continued negotiations to continue for several months.

“I will make a new deadline, from 10 to 10 or 12 days of the day,” Trump told reporters in Scotland on Monday. “There is no reason to wait. It was 50 days. I wanted to be generous, but we don’t see any progress made.”

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on Monday that President Donald Trump’s attempts to push Russia to the negotiating table “a step towards war.” ))

In response, MEDDEVEV, who is now the Vice -President of the Security Council in Russia, accused Trump of playing a “warning game”.

“Trump plays a warning game with Russia: 50 days or 10 … he must remember two things: 1. Russia is not Israel or even Iran,” Medvedev said on Monday.

The new deadline of Trump comes amid the increasing frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin amid a long -standing progress towards peace between Russia and Ukraine, and just days after Russia fired more than 300 drones, four Cruz missiles and three ballistic missiles in Ukraine, according to the Ukrainian Air Force.
