US President Donald Trump launched a scathing attack on the media on Tuesday (local time). He said that in some news it is being shown that Iran is performing well in the war. Trump again claimed that the Iranian army has been completely destroyed. Iran’s leaders are gone and the country is in economic crisis.
What did President Donald Trump say?
Trump gave this statement through Truth Social. He accused the media of giving ‘false hope’ to Iran and ‘helping’ it. The US President said, when fake news says that Iran is doing well against us militarily, it is almost like treason, because it is completely false and absurd. They are helping the enemy. This only gives false hope to Iran. Whereas there should be no such expectation. These Americans are cowards who are standing against their own country.
Iran’s navy had 159 ships and now all have been sunk in the sea, he claimed. Iran no longer has a navy, he said. His air force has been destroyed. His technology is gone. Its leaders are no more and the country is facing economic ruin. Only losers, ungrateful people and fools can speak against America. This post has come at a time when Trump is going to have an important meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
What did Trump say before leaving for China?
Earlier, before leaving for China, Trump spoke to the media. During this, he again claimed that the Iranian army has been completely weakened and America will win this war ‘peacefully or by any means’.
When asked if he was expecting help from President Xi Jinping on Iran, Trump said, “No, I don’t think we need any help on Iran.” We will win somehow. We will win this peacefully or some other way. Their navy is destroyed. Their air force has been destroyed. His entire fighting power has been exhausted.
In response to another question regarding Iran, Trump said, Iran has been defeated militarily. He said, either they will take the right decision or we will complete the rest of the work. The US President also described the blockade of Iran as ‘100 percent effective’.
Iran criticized America
At the same time, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi criticized America on Tuesday. He said that lack of trust in Washington’s actions is the biggest obstacle to establishing peace. According to Iranian state broadcaster Press TV, Araghchi said this during a meeting with Norway’s Deputy Foreign Minister in Tehran.
