US Iran War: US President Donald Trump declared that Washington's confrontation with Iran has formally ended, even as he justified the military campaign with stark rhetoric.
Speaking at a public event, Trump argued the conflict was necessary to stop Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons, saying, 'lunatics can't have a nuclear weapon.'
Despite notifying Congress that hostilities had concluded within the mandated timeframe, Trump continued to defend the operation's scale and impact. He credited US air power for neutralising what he described as an imminent threat. He said that they had stopped them with the B2 bombers, and if they hadn't, the others would have had a nuclear weapon. He added that Israel, the Middle East, and Europe would have been blown to pieces.
Trump Claims Iran's Military 'Destroyed'
Trump painted a picture of a severely weakened Iran, asserting that its defence capabilities had been dismantled. He claimed that they had no navy, no air force, no anti-aircraft equipment, and no radar, and that their leaders were all gone.
