Kathmandu – U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Iran, stating that the United States will respond with 20 times more power if Tehran attempts to block oil supplies through the Strait of Hormuz. He emphasized that military operations will continue until the enemy is completely incapacitated. According to Trump, joint efforts between the U.S. and Israel have already struck more than 5,000 military targets in Iran since the conflict began. He noted that certain high-value locations have been intentionally spared for now, reserved for future action if necessary.
Claiming that the U.S. and Israel have secured a significant lead in the war, Trump hinted that the fighting could end soon. However, he maintained that military strikes would remain relentless for the time being. He specifically warned that any attempt to halt global oil flows could lead to attacks on Iran’s major power generation centers. Trump asserted that if such infrastructure were destroyed, it would take Iran many years to rebuild its energy capabilities.
Regarding specific military gains, Trump claimed that U.S. forces have already destroyed approximately 80% of Iran’s missile launch sites. He further stated that strikes on drone manufacturing hubs have severely weakened Iran’s aerial capabilities and claimed that the Iranian Navy has suffered massive losses, with 46 vessels reportedly sunk. Amidst these military updates, Trump also commented on Iranian leadership, calling the decision to appoint Mujtaba Khamenei as the new Supreme Leader following Ali Khamenei’s death a “major mistake” that would create further global instability.
However, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has firmly rejected Trump’s claims. IRGC spokesperson Ali Mohammad Naeini countered that the decision on when the war ends lies with Iran, not the United States. Naeini accused the U.S. of projecting false military successes to hide its own failures and suggested that Washington is running low on ammunition and looking for an exit strategy. He concluded by claiming that several U.S. military bases in the Persian Gulf have been destroyed and warned that “not a single drop of oil” would be allowed to leave the region for aggressor nations and their allies.
