US President Donald Trump maintains that a military defeat of Iran is imminent, despite ongoing tensions between the two nations.
US President
Donald Trump has stated in an interview that it would only take two weeks to destroy every single target in Iran.
He further asserted that the Islamic Republic is 'militarily defeated,' although he acknowledged that they may not be aware of this in their own minds.
This comment comes amid escalating tensions between the US and Iran, which began with strikes from the US and Israel on February 28.
Trump also criticized NATO, describing it as a 'paper tiger' for failing to assist the US in its campaign against Iran.
He suggested that further military action could be taken by the US within two weeks, targeting remaining unspecified objectives.
This statement was recorded last week but aired on Sunday.
The latest developments come as Iran responds to a recent US proposal aimed at ending this ongoing conflict.
