Trump claims Iran nuclear threat is 'wiped out'

US President Donald Trump offered a confident assessment of national security and the domestic economy upon returning from Medinah, Illinois, declaring that the United States no longer faces a threat from Iran’s nuclear program because its development capabilities have been "wiped out."

In his remarks, Trump asserted that the military threat posed by Tehran's nuclear ambitions had been neutralized, removing a major strategic concern for Washington.

Shifting to domestic performance, Trump highlighted key economic indicators as evidence that the nation is performing well under his administration. He noted that major Wall Street stock indexes continue to trade at or near record highs, while consumer prices are experiencing downward pressure across critical retail and industrial sectors.

Trump concluded that the combination of strong financial markets and easing cost-of-living pressures demonstrates that the US economy remains on a solid upward path.

The statement follows joint military operations directed by Washington against primary Iranian nuclear enrichment and research facilities, including Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. US officials claim that these targeted strikes caused extensive structural damage to underground infrastructure and severely impaired Tehran's capacity to enrich uranium, setting the country's nuclear development program back significantly.

While the White House has framed the military campaign as a definitive end to the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran, international observers and intelligence analysts continue to monitor the long-term status of the region's security environment.
