President Donald Trump declared that Iran is "dead" and called for its leaders to be tried for war crimes against humanity. The US president also vowed to respond to the recent Iranian attack on a base hosting US troops in Jordan, amid renewed clashes in the ongoing US-Israel war on Iran. Trump described Iran as having no navy, air force, currency, and a leadership incapable of representing the country, with inflation at an astronomical 300%.
He accused Iran's leadership of being incapable of properly representing the nation, with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) spearheading the war effort. The flare-up in fighting between the US and Iran was the first round since July, following the US military strike on Iran's Larak Island. Iran retaliated by launching missiles at a base hosting US troops in Jordan.
Trump suggested that Iran's crackdown on anti-government demonstrators is preventing the regime from collapsing, noting that over 100,000 people have died in the protests.
