US President Donald Trump has described Iran as a "failed nation" in a series of posts on his Truth Social account, citing the country's economic crises, hyperinflation, and collapsing currency and oil exports. Trump noted that oil flow through the Strait of Hormuz has returned to normal, signaling the end of Iran's Kharg Island oil exports.
