US President Donald Trump has issued stern remarks regarding the current military and economic situation in Iran.
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, citing reports from Bloomberg, President Trump claimed during an event at the White House that Iran's military power has been largely dismantled. He asserted that the country's air force, naval capabilities, and advanced weapons technology are no longer operational.
The US President further emphasized that the Iranian economy is facing a severe crisis, citing inflation rates approaching 300 percent and the significant devaluation of the national currency. Trump dismissed media reports suggesting stability in Iran, characterizing the country's collapse as inevitable.
Addressing the strategic rationale behind US actions, Trump stated that the campaign against Iran is not solely driven by Washington's interests but is essential for the security of the Middle East and Israel. He alleged that Iran's primary objective remains the destabilization of the region and the destruction of Israel, warning that failure to contain these threats could endanger European security.
Regarding ongoing military operations, the US leader commended Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and his team for the success of recent strikes, which he noted resulted in the destruction of numerous military targets. Trump confirmed that the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz is currently under US control, ensuring the safe passage of oil tankers.
The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for global energy supplies, connecting the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. Approximately one-fifth of the world's oil consumption passes through this narrow waterway, making it a focal point of international maritime security and geopolitical tension.
