Statements at the White House

US President Donald Trump made important evaluations regarding Iran during an event held on the White House lawn and expressed that the strategies implemented are yielding results.

Commemorating those who lost their lives in the September 11 attacks, Trump emphasized that they continue to take all necessary measures to prevent such events from recurring.

Emphasis on Nuclear Weapons

Stating that they are in a struggle with a country that wants to acquire nuclear weapons, the US President clearly stated that Iran has no chance of possessing this weapon.

He added that the Tehran administration had come very close to acquiring nuclear weapons in the past, but this situation was prevented thanks to the policies pursued.

Effects of the Naval Blockade

Defending that the naval blockade against Iran has yielded extremely successful results, Trump stated that the country has been punished very severely in this process and has been taught a harsh lesson.

He noted that thanks to the blockade implemented by the US Navy, tanker passages through the Strait of Hormuz have been made significantly possible and a much more effective result than expected has been achieved.
