We’re prepared to do another one any time we want.
Trump said Iran had been trying to rebuild radar and missile systems and develop a rocket capable of dropping mines in the Strait of Hormuz. He said US forces destroyed newly built equipment in the area and described the strikes as “very heavy.”
Trump also said Iran’s leadership was “getting weaker by the day.” He attributed the absence of a broader uprising against the government to the use of deadly force against protesters, referring to his earlier call for Iranians to “rise up and fight.”
