Trump says Iran possessed more missiles than expected

By Seyi Babalola

President Donald Trump has claimed that Iran has much more missiles than previously thought and is close to launching an attack on the United States.

Trump made the statement on Monday when speaking with House Republicans at their annual strategy conference in Florida.

According to him, intelligence sources revealed that Iran was planning a big strike.

He said, “Within a week, they were going to attack us, 100 per cent. They were ready.”
Trump added that Iran had far more missiles than anyone had thought.

His comments came as the United States continues military operations against Iran. Trump suggested that the conflict might soon come to an end.

In a phone interview with CBS News from his golf club in Doral, Florida, the president said U.S. forces had already caused serious damage to Iran’s military power.
“I think the war is pretty much complete,” Trump said.

He claimed Iran’s military infrastructure had been badly weakened, saying the country no longer had an effective navy, communication systems, or air force. Trump also said many of Iran’s missiles and drones had been destroyed, including facilities used to manufacture drones.

The U.S. military reported that more than 3,000 targets inside Iran were hit during the first week of the operation.

Trump insisted that Iran had lost most of its military strength. “If you look, they have nothing left in a military sense,” he said.
