U.S. President Donald Trump has said in a recent statement that Iran has been completely “crushed.”
Al Jazeera reported early Sunday, October 4, that Trump made the remarks while speaking to a group of reporters.
According to the report, the U.S. president claimed that Iran had abandoned any plans to acquire nuclear weapons.
Trump has repeatedly claimed that he set back Iran’s nuclear programme by several years.
“I have to make a decision about Iran. Iran has been crushed, so the only question is whether this will be done the easy way or the hard way,” he said.
However, in recent days, the U.S. president has also spoken about the possibility of renewed military strikes against Iran after the U.S. congressional midterm elections.
