Iran Pushes Back After Trump Claims Its Missile Power Is Weak
Tehran rejects Trump’s statement, warning of strong military capabilities and consequences for any aggression.
A sharp exchange of words has emerged between former US President Donald Trump and Iranian officials, highlighting rising tensions.
Trump stated late in the evening that Iran was seeking a deal and claimed its missile capabilities had been severely weakened. His remarks suggested that Tehran was no longer in a strong strategic position.
However, within hours, Iran responded with a firm and direct message. Officials dismissed Trump’s claims, saying he underestimated the country’s military strength. They emphasized that Iran possesses extensive missile systems, drones, and strategic resources that remain intact and ready.
Iran also issued a warning, stating that any aggression would come at a cost. The response underlined that counting or underestimating their capabilities would lead to serious miscalculations.
The exchange reflects the ongoing strain between the two sides, with both using strong language to assert their positions on military strength and regional influence.
