Trump: Iran strikes aim to eliminate 'any chance' of Tehran obtaining nuclear bomb

U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Sunday that the American military campaign against Iran is designed to eliminate "any chance where they can have a nuclear missile." Speaking at Joint Base Andrews, Trump indicated that the current strikes are a more extensive operation than previous efforts, aiming to definitively end Iran's nuclear ambitions. He also mentioned that the U.S. military struck Iran "very hard again" on Sunday night in response to an Iranian aerial attack in Jordan on Friday, which resulted in the deaths of U.S. service members. Trump asserted that Iran has been significantly weakened militarily, claiming, "They've lost everything almost militarily; they've got very little left." He concluded by stating the U.S. controls the Strait of Hormuz, not Iran.
