The President of the United States, Donald Trump, has said that his country has “completely destroyed” the military forces of Iran during the ongoing conflict. Speaking in Oval Office in Washington, DC, Trump claimed that Iran’s navy has been wiped out, saying their ships are now at the bottom of the sea. He also described Iran’s remaining forces as weak. Trump made strong comments about Iran’s nuclear programme, saying the US will not allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons. He added that US forces were involved in a small military clash recently, without giving full details. Earlier, the US military said it had destroyed several Iranian boats in the Strait of Hormuz as part of a mission to protect ships in the area. Overall, Trump presented the situation as a major success for the US, although tensions in the region remain high and the conflict is still ongoing.
