Trump claims to have "destroyed" Iran's nuclear capability

Gold Finance reports that on May 1st, U.S. President Donald Trump stated at a White House press conference that the recent military actions by the U.S. have “destroyed” Iran’s nuclear capabilities and significantly weakened its overall military strength. He said that Iran’s navy and air force are “almost non-existent,” approximately 82% of drone factories have been weakened, nearly 90% of missile factories damaged, and most missile systems have been destroyed. Trump stated that the U.S. completed key strike missions in a short period and emphasized that if no action is taken, Iran “may acquire nuclear weapons,” and “this must never happen.” Trump said that negotiations with Iran are currently stalled, but Iran “is very eager to reach an agreement.” He added that only a very small number of U.S. high-level officials are aware of the negotiation details. Trump said that under economic sanctions and military pressure, Iran’s economy is facing severe difficulties, with oil revenues greatly reduced. He emphasized that the U.S. aims to force Iran to abandon its nuclear weapons development and to resolve the situation through negotiations as soon as possible. (CCTV News)
