U.S. President Donald Trump has criticized the credibility of what he terms 'fake news media,' asserting that they inaccurately portray Iran as winning. According to ChainCatcher, Trump claims that Iran is actually facing significant losses.
He stated that Iran's navy and air force have been dismantled, its air defense systems are ineffective, and its radar systems are inoperative. Additionally, missile and drone factories, along with the missiles and drones themselves, have largely been destroyed. Trump emphasized that Iran's long-standing leaders are no longer in power, leaving the country with little more than threats involving mines.
Trump further mentioned that Iran's 28 mine-laying boats have been sunk, and efforts are underway to clear the Strait of Hormuz. He noted that this action benefits many countries, including Japan, South Korea, France, and Germany, which have not taken similar steps themselves.
Interestingly, Trump observed that empty oil tankers from various countries are now heading to the United States to load oil.
