❌ President Trump on the Islamic Republic of Iran:

Four months ago, these people had a very powerful army, by far the strongest army, probably in the Middle East. They were called the bully of the Middle East. Now they don’t have a navy anymore. 159 of their ships have sunk underwater. They had 230 fighter jets. All of them are gone. They had huge radars. All of them are gone. They had enormous anti-air artillery. All of them are gone. Unfortunately, their leadership has also been completely wiped out. The first- and second-tier leaders have all been killed. The third-tier leaders that we deal with to some extent—some of them are also gone.
