Summary He stated that Iran’s radar systems, missile infrastructure, and drone factories have largely been destroyed
WASHINGTON (Dunya News) - US President Donald Trump has said that efforts are being initiated to clear naval mines from the Strait of Hormuz ‘for the sake of the world.’
In a message posted on social media, Trump claimed that Iran is “losing the war badly,” asserting that its naval and air forces have been effectively neutralised and that its defence systems are no longer operational.
He further stated that Iran’s radar systems, missile infrastructure, and drone factories have largely been destroyed, adding that the country’s leadership is no longer intact.
According to Trump, Iran’s remaining leverage is limited to threats involving naval mines.
The US president also claimed that all 28 Iranian vessels allegedly involved in deploying naval mines have been sunk.
Trump reiterated that the United States is beginning operations to clear the Strait of Hormuz of mines, emphasising that the move is intended to benefit the global community, including countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, France, and Germany.

He added that many nations lack the capability and resolve to carry out such operations independently.
The president further noted that empty oil tankers from various countries are now heading toward the United States to procure oil, stressing that Washington will not accept price increases driven by the fertilizer industry.
Earlier, Trump had invited oil tankers worldwide to come to the United States, stating that high-quality oil available in Washington is ready for global markets.
He claimed that US oil and gas are among the best in the world and that the country possesses reserves exceeding the combined holdings of two major nations.
Trump also assured that oil tankers would be facilitated with immediate loading and swift turnaround.
