United States President Donald Trump claimed that 42 Iranian naval vessels were destroyed within three days.
Addressing a ceremony, Trump said the United States was carrying out strong operations in Iran. He said Iran’s navy, air power and communications system had been destroyed.
He said Iran had come close to acquiring nuclear weapons and wanted to dominate the Middle East.
Trump said the withdrawal of US troops from Iran should not have taken place in the manner it did. He said he was going to meet the families of soldiers who lost their lives in Iran.
He said there were casualties whenever war broke out and that efforts were under way to keep the loss of life to a minimum.
Trump said if US B-2 bombers had not carried out strikes, Iran would have produced nuclear weapons.
He added that a military alliance was being formed to eliminate drug cartels.
During a meeting of South American leaders hosted by Trump, he repeated that Iran’s navy, air power and communications system had been destroyed and said Iran had come close to obtaining nuclear weapons.
