(Central News Agency, Washington, 1st,綜合外電報導) US President Donald Trump claimed that those who believe the United States did not "win" the US-Iran war are "traitors." Despite having previously informed Congress that hostilities between the two sides had "ceased," he defended the war today, emphasizing that "madmen" must not be allowed to possess nuclear weapons.
Speaking at an event in Florida today, Trump stated: "We hear the radical left saying, 'We didn't win, we didn't win.' They (Iran) don't have any military left. It's truly unbelievable. In fact, I think it's treason, okay. If you want to know the truth, it's treason."
According to CNN, Trump spoke about the swift military operation in Venezuela in January, calling it "one of the greatest military operations in history." Trump stated that he did not want to talk prematurely about victory in Iran.
Trump said: "We are doing just as well in Iran. But I don't like to talk much until the mission is complete." However, he did not mention the obvious differences between the two conflicts.
Trump repeatedly stated that the United States has destroyed Iran's navy and emphasized that the US blockade of ships entering and exiting Iranian ports is a "stroke of genius." However, Iran still maintains a certain degree of influence over the Strait of Hormuz.
According to Fox News, Trump also defended the US-Iran war today, believing it is crucial to prevent the Iranian regime from possessing nuclear weapons. He said: "We absolutely cannot let madmen have nuclear weapons."
Trump admitted that he had initially expected a more severe economic impact, but he had to do "the right thing."
He said: "I originally thought the numbers would be worse, that the stock market would fall deeper, and that oil prices would rise higher. But I said, we have no choice. Regardless of the impact, I had to do the right thing; we cannot let them have nuclear weapons."
Trump also claimed that Iran's military capabilities have been significantly weakened.
He said: "They are being beaten badly; they have no navy, no air force, no air defense equipment, and no radar. They don't even have leaders; all their leaders are gone." (Compiled by: Lee Pei-shan) 1150502
