Washington DC [US], March 30 (ANI): US President Donald Trump on Sunday said it was a “big day” for Iran, claiming the US military had destroyed many key targets in the country.
In a Truth Social post, Trump wrote that numerous long-sought targets had been taken out by “our GREAT MILITARY, the finest and most lethal in the World. God bless you all! President DJT.”
Earlier, speaking to reporters on Air Force One en route to Joint Base Andrews, Trump asserted that Iran’s entire navy and air force had been knocked out and that most of its missiles were gone. He also suggested a shift in Tehran’s leadership, describing the current leaders as “very reasonable” and referring to “a new group of people” — calling it “truly regime change.”
“I just have lots of alternatives. We have a tremendous number of ships over there. We don’t need them all because of, you know, the power. If you had said that in three days we were going to knock out 158 ships, their entire Navy, which we did, we knocked out their entire Air Force, we knocked out most of their missiles. That’s why you see missile attacks, but they’re down to just sputtering. And we have a group, it’s really a new regime. It’s the new group of people, people that we’ve never dealt with before, that are acting very reasonably. It is truly regime change,” he said.
Asked about the status of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s son, Trump said, “We think he may be. Nobody’s heard about him and he’s… he may be alive, but he’s obviously very seriously in trouble. Really, he’s seriously wounded.”
On a 15-point peace plan the US reportedly sent to Iran, Trump said Tehran had accepted most points. He claimed Iran had provided oil shipments as a sign of cooperation — saying they had sent “8 plus 2; it’s 10 massive boatloads of oil” earlier and then “20 boatloads of oil” more recently — and that these shipments would begin moving the next day. “We’re having very good meetings, both directly and indirectly, and we’re getting a lot of very important points,” he added.
Separately, Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf accused the US and Israel of preparing a “ground invasion” under the pretext of diplomacy, warning Tehran would not bow to pressure, according to state media Press TV. “The enemy talks of negotiations but plans a ground invasion. The US seeks in a 15-point list what it couldn’t win in war. Our forces are ready, and we will never be humiliated,” he said.
