“Military Decimation”: Trump’s Hardline Assessment
During the interview with Mornings with Maria, the President did not mince words regarding the current state of Iran’s defense capabilities.
“We have beaten them militarily, totally,” Trump stated. “I think it’s close to over, yeah. I view it as very close to being over.”
The President highlighted the long-term impact of the U.S. military campaign, suggesting that the structural and economic damage to Iran is so severe that recovery could take decades. “As we speak, it would take them 20 years to rebuild that country,” he added, reinforcing the scale of the U.S. intervention aimed at neutralizing Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.
