'They have no navy, no radar, no leaders': Trump boasts of US strikes on Iran

US President Donald Trump has claimed that Iran has been left without military leadership following the US campaign, suggesting Washington may have gone too far in targeting the country's top leaders. He also asserted that Tehran has lost much of its military capability, including its Navy, radar systems and anti-aircraft weapons.Addressing Republican supporters at a rally in Dubuque, Iowa, Trump defended his decision to launch the war against Iran, claiming that Tehran had initiated the conflict and that Washington was now close to defeating it."They started this while we didn't start it. We're finishing it, we're beating the crap out of them. They have no Navy... Their airplanes are scattered all over the runways of Iran. They have no radar. They have no anti-aircraft weaponry. They have no leaders," Trump said.However, he acknowledged that the killing of Iranian leaders could create difficulties for future negotiations."That's my problem. We might have gone a little far with the leaders. There's nobody to talk to. Nobody wants to be President," he added."We killed General Soleimani in my first term. He was the father of the roadside bomb," Trump said.'Oil is much lower than it was for Biden'Reiterating his justification for the military campaign, Trump claimed that the operation had protected the US from what he described as the world's leading state sponsor of terror.Trump also linked the military campaign against Iran to oil prices and inflation, claiming that prices had fallen under his administration despite the ongoing conflict. He blamed former president Joe Biden for the high prices he inherited and said inflation over the past three months stood at 1.7%."I stopped Iran from having a nuclear weapon, but the oil is much lower than it was for Biden, much lower than it was for Barack Obama. When that war is over, it's going to come plunging," he said."We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. So I said, let's make that little journey... It's a very small price to pay for the security of this country and for the world," he added.You use AI every day. Now get your AI Quotient. Take the AIQ test.
