The tweet predated the current Middle East crisis, originally criticizing former President Obama for being too quick to attack Iran

In a 2013 tweet, Trump warned Obama would attack Iran due to poor negotiation skills—not true diplomacy

Now Trump has supported U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, prompting critics to point out the irony

Bombs hit Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—part of U.S. support for Israel’s Operation Rising Lion

He has since praised the bombing, calling the destruction “monumental”
