‘Demolished their military’: Trump hits out against Iranian regime as conflict resumes
United States President Donald Trump unleashes a scathing attack against the Iranian regime whilst speaking at the NATO summit in Turkey. “When you look at Iran, we essentially demolished their military in a couple of weeks. They had a good military; they had a good navy; they had 159 ships- everyone’s at the bottom of the sea,” Mr Trump said. “They had hundreds of aeroplanes; they’re all gone, they’re all lying burned up on the runways, they were totally decimated, their radar is gone, everything is gone, their leaders are gone. “We have the strongest military in the world by far, not even close; everybody admits it.”

Trump's Iran war: A $40 billion catastrophe that hurts Americans most
TEHRAN- When Donald Trump last week declared victory in his war against Iran, he painted a picture of American triumph. OIL IS FLOWING, IRAN CAN NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON... PRICES ARE DROPPING, he boasted on social media. But a comprehensive CNN analysis of the 100-day conflict reveals a devastating reality that the President's all-caps pronouncements cannot obscure: this was a war that bankrupted American taxpayers, emptied the nation's strategic reserves, and inflicted economic pain on ordinary families—all while killing more than 7,500 civilians in the region.
