What is the story about?
As the war in Iran continues to escalate, US President Donald Trump said Iran's military infrastructure is crumbling, insisting that its "navy is gone, air force in ruins, leaders, most of them are dead, IRGC commander decimated as we speak."
What makes Trump's Wednesday speech significant is that it was his first address to the nation since his administration joined hands with Israel and launched a war in Iran, a little over a month ago.
The address from the White House by the American leader is also coming at a pivotal moment as he faces accusations that he has lost control of the conflict and will not be able to achieve the key aims of the war. Soon after the start of the war, Trump continued to claim that the US had already won the war and refused to take responsibility for the economic fallout that had spread across the world.
In his speech, Trump gave an operational update on the progress of Operation Epic Fury, while highlighting the military’s “success in achieving all of its stated goals”.
