Trump Declares Iran's Military 'Destroyed,' Cites 'Successful' Naval Blockade

U.S. President Donald Trump has intensified his rhetoric against Iran, declaring its military "completely destroyed" and the nation on the brink of collapse. In a series of posts on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump asserted that Iran's navy and air force are virtually non-existent, leaving the country defeated.

The fake media refuses to report how effective the U.S. naval BLOCKADE is, the most successful blockade in the history of maritime warfare. NOTHING gets through unless we want it to. It's an iron wall!

Trump specifically highlighted the effectiveness of a U.S. naval blockade, calling it the "most successful blockade in the history of maritime warfare." He claimed that nothing can pass through without U.S. authorization, describing it as an "iron wall." The president criticized what he termed "fake media" for allegedly refusing to report on the blockade's success.

Iran's military is a total chaos. A lot of it, like the Navy and Air Force, doesn't even exist anymore - they have been completely defeated. Iran is just talking, but doing nothing. The bully of the Middle East is DEAD!

Furthermore, Trump suggested that Iran has "taken too long" to negotiate a deal, implying that Tehran will now "have to pay the price." He stated that Iran, due to the blockade, is practically unable to conduct business, pay its military or bills, and is rapidly becoming a "failed state."

It has taken far too long to negotiate a deal with Iran, and therefore the country will 'pay the price' for it.

Despite his strong statements, Trump also made a seemingly contradictory remark, noting, "A lot of oil is still getting out. Thank God!" This comment has reportedly generated additional reactions on social media, adding another layer to his pronouncements on Iran.

Nevertheless, a lot of oil is still getting out. Thank God!
