US President Donald Trump on Monday yet again reiterated the claims of military annihilation of Iran, while also asserting that oil continues to flow out of the Strait of Hormuz with the “Navy’s assistance”, due to which prices have not shot up.
He made the remarks while speaking to the media from the Oval Office.
When asked about Iran, the US President said, “They’re a failed nation. Yeah, they’re a failed nation. They’ve got 350 per cent inflation. They have no currency. They’re not paying their soldiers. Their leaders are largely dead. Their Navy is gone. Their Air Force is gone. Their surveillance equipment is almost entirely gone. That doesn’t mean we won’t smack them. See what happens.”
