(opens the publisher’s site)Trump said Iran would likely have targeted Europe, then the cities of San Diego and Los Angeles, before attacking the United States.
- Trump said intelligence suggested Iran would strike European countries first, listing San Diego and Los Angeles as targets due to easy missile routes.
- Trump said the United States imposed a naval blockade on the Strait of Hormuz, barring all maritime traffic to and from Iran.
- Trump said 28 million barrels of oil crossed the strait on Thursday, the largest volume to pass through since the war began.
- Trump said the war will end "very soon" and that Iran no longer possesses an army, navy, air force, or air defense systems.
- Bloomberg reported, citing unnamed Western officials, that Iran preserved its missile and drone production plants despite months of strikes, allowing it to rebuild its arsenal.
- Iranian Defense Ministry spokesman Reza Talaeinik said Iran will counter any attack 'weapon for weapon, missile for missile, and bullet for bullet,' and that weapons output rose 2.5-fold.
