Donald Trump's Old Tweet Mocking Obama On Iran Comes Back To Haunt Him
Another old tweet from Donald Trump has gone viral again, but for the wrong reasons. As the president continued to ramp up his rhetoric against Iran, critics pointed to a November 2013 social media post where Trump accused then-President Barack Obama of planning to attack Iran. Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 11, 2013 'Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly—not skilled!' Trump wrote, when he was still a reality TV personality. The resurfaced tweet sparked comments about irony, given Trump's recent saber-rattling against Tehran.

China Reacts to Trump Khamenei Threat
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. China urged the U.S. to use its "special influence" over Israel to ease the conflict with Iran and not to expand it further, after U.S. President Donald Trump put Tehran on notice with a demand of unconditional surrender on the nuclear issue. Trump also warned Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei that the U.S. knows where he is hiding and he is an "easy target," though safe "for now". Trump added on his Truth Social platform: "Our patience is wearing thin." At a regular press briefing, a spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs was asked for Beijing's response to Trump's remarks about Khameini and Iran. "China is deeply concerned about the developments of the current situation," Lin Jian said. "We oppose any acts that violate the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, [and] violate other countries' sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity. "The escalation of the situation in the Middle East serves no one's interest. "Countries that have special influence over Israel should take objective and just positions, shoulder their due responsibilities, and play an active and constructive role in easing the situation, and avoiding the expansion of the conflict." This is a breaking news story. Updates to follow.
