U.S. President Donald Trump issued a clear and stern threat in the event of a possible attack on the United States. Speaking at a memorial ceremony held at the Pentagon on the 24th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, Trump said, "If you attack the U.S., we will find you and hunt you down, and we will crush you without mercy. That’s why we changed the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War."

U.S. President Donald Trump spoke at a memorial ceremony held at the Pentagon on the 24th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. Trump, who stated, "We reaffirm our sacred oath that we will never forget September 11, 2001," noted that they commemorated each individual who lost their life in the attacks.
"THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR WILL BE VERY DIFFERENT"
Trump expressed that the U.S. is much stronger in the face of such attacks, mentioning that they recently changed the name of the Department of Defense for this reason, stating, "The Department of War will be very different. If you attack us, we will hunt you down and we will prevail over you."
Trump argued that they are strong enough not to face such attacks again, stating that significant steps have been taken in this regard during his administration.
THREAT OF WORLD WAR III
U.S. President Trump's signing of an executive order to change the name of the Department of Defense to "Department of War" raised questions about whether the Washington administration is preparing for a global war, such as World War III.
WHAT HAPPENED ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2001?
The heart of the U.S. financial system, New York, woke up on the morning of September 11, 2001, to terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, known as the Twin Towers. After four passenger planes took off from Newark, Boston, and Washington heading to San Francisco and Los Angeles, an American Airlines passenger plane heading to Los Angeles crashed into the north tower of the Twin Towers at 8:46 AM local time. While the north tower was engulfed in flames, another hijacked plane belonging to United Airlines crashed into the south tower live on air exactly 17 minutes after the first attack.
Following the attacks on the Twin Towers, another hijacked plane crashed into the U.S. Department of Defense (Pentagon) building. The last hijacked plane was shot down by F-16s in rural Pennsylvania. A total of 2,977 people lost their lives in New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania, excluding the 19 hijackers who took the planes during the September 11 attacks.
Recorded as the largest terrorist attack in U.S. history, the devastation resulting from the wars the U.S. entered after the September 11 attacks continues to have global effects. According to open sources on the internet, the U.S. spent approximately $5 trillion in wars initiated under the "war on terror" policy, particularly in the Islamic world, including Afghanistan and Iraq, after September 11. During this process, more than 7,000 U.S. military personnel, over 8,000 private contractors working with the U.S. military, and nearly 2 million civilians, mostly in Iraq and Afghanistan, lost their lives.
