Is he, though? Do we have confirmation from someone who isn't a pathological liar?

Edit: Ope, Iran just confirmed it. He's fukkin dead.

The issue is less of trump being a liar and more of him not being a third party.

There not being any footage of the Iranian leader since the attack makes it likely trump is right, in my opinion.

And you usually don't send third parties into the battlefield to check while the conflict is this hot and the obe side is incentivised to not have that leak at great cost. Sounds like a death sentence for those folk.

I wonder if those radicalized by this know the names Stephen Miller and Russel Vought.
