Former President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign released a new video on Monday that sharply criticizes the Biden administration’s Middle East policy and issues a stark warning to Iran. The one-minute ad, shared on social media platform X, contrasts Trump’s approach to regional security with current policies.
The video begins with a reference to the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, in which 31 American citizens were killed, supported by a quote from Axios shown in the footage. It is further claimed that Iran was involved in planning the attack, citing a report from October 8 New York Post Report.

The ad criticizes the current administration and mentions President Joe Biden’s decision to release frozen Iranian assets. The ad calls this a “$6 billion ransom for Iran,” which is also a quote from a report published on October 8. New York Post report. The report then turns to Trump’s past actions, claiming he “played hard with Iran, destroyed ISIS, kept peace in the Middle East, and saved us from endless wars through strength.”
In his speech addressed directly to the camera, Trump delivered a powerful message: “History shows very clearly that evil respects only one thing: unyielding strength. When I’m back in the White House, our enemies will know that if you shed a drop of American blood, we will shed a quart of your blood.”
The ad uses various visual elements to support its message, including shots of missile attacks, images of burning American flags, Iranian weapons, and cutouts of Trump with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with U.S. troops and American flags in the background.
The video ends with the narrator saying, “President Trump, the strength we need to make America strong again,” followed by Trump’s usual campaign message.
