The tensions in Iran with the neighbouring nation, Israel, have sent shivers down the spines of many fearing the reality of World War III in this era. X, previously known as Twitter, has been more than active on social media, with users from India and more voicing concerns over the escalating tensions.
Former US President Donald Trump has also weighed in with a stern warning. “War, or the threat of war, is raging everywhere, and the two incompetent people running our country are leading us to the brink of World War III,” Trump posted on social media. His statement has further stoked the already hot debate on global insecurity.
Trump on Iran-Israel Conflict: “Like Two Kids Fighting in a Schoolyard”
Commenting on the Iran-Israel clash, Trump said it resembled a schoolyard fight between two unruly children. Noting that, though an unfortunate incident, the US must undertake a crucial role in the Middle East to stabilize the region. “This would never have happened under my administration,” Trump said while criticizing the present US leadership for handling the situation.
The comments were made following Iran launching nearly 200 missiles into Israel to retaliate after Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was killed. Most of those missiles had been shot down by Israeli defence systems, with support coming from the US military.
President Trump Latest News
Even incumbent President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were spared criticism from Trump. He claimed they took the US to the edge of a disaster when he said, “We are very close to global catastrophe. There was no war while I was in the office in the Middle East, no war in Europe, and peace in Asia.”

President Trump Assassination Attempt
Meanwhile, the headlines still stand bold about the President Trump rally at Butler, Pennsylvania, where he almost narrowly survived an assassination attempt in July.

The incident did not shake Trump; however, he returned to Butler Farm Show fairgrounds for another rally on October 5.
Case on Election Interference and Special Counsel Investigation
A federal judge unsealed vital evidence in another related development in the election interference case against Trump. The 165-page document prepared by Special Counsel Jack Smith detailing the allegations against him for allegedly trying to overturn the result of his defeat in the 2020 elections is now brought out crucially ahead of a trial set to commencement shortly before the presidential election, during which Trump will go head-to-head with incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris.
The legal battles against him have not deterred the electoral prospects of Trump. A recent survey in Pennsylvania shows a very close race between Trump and Harris, where the gap is now only two percentage points, thereby highlighting how crucial the state of Pennsylvania can be in the 2024 elections.
World War 3 Prediction
As tensions continue to flare in the Middle East, Trump continues his grave pronouncements on the state of affairs around the world. “We are getting closer than ever to World War III,” he warned, adding that his administration’s foreign policy had kept such threats at bay.
