Trump: Iran Has Been Devastated and Stripped of Its Strength
3/3/2026 7:39:31 PM
US President Donald Trump said that everything has been destroyed in Iran, that it no longer has an air force or naval forces, and that the number of Iranian missiles has dropped significantly.
Trump added that Iran attacks countries that have nothing to do with the current events and targets only civilians.
He stated that the operation will target the new leadership in Iran today, noting that most of Iran’s first- and second-tier leaders have been killed.
Trump also said that the U.S. has built a military “like no other military that has ever been built.”
He suggested that the son of the former Shah could be an option, saying that some people consider him “popular,” but that someone from inside Iran would be more suitable to lead the country.
Trump noted that some European countries have been helpful, such as Germany, while others have been very poor partners, such as Spain, announcing that the U.S. will cut all trade ties with Spain and expressing dissatisfaction with Britain.
He argued that if the U.S. had not attacked first, Iran would have developed a nuclear weapon.
He also said that the United States possesses massive quantities of advanced and powerful ammunition, adding that some of it was “foolishly given away” to Ukraine, claiming this would not have happened if he were president.
Trump stated that tariffs have made the country very wealthy and that the U.S. must take care of nations that have been good to it, while not allowing countries that have not treated the United States well to take advantage.
He added that Iran was preparing to attack Israel and other countries, noting that the missiles falling today were pre-targeted, and that Iran has now lost its “arms and legs” in the Middle East.
Trump concluded by expecting oil prices to decline once the operation in Iran ends.
