US President Donald Trump has claimed that American forces could strike every single target in Iran within two weeks, while declaring that the Islamic republic had already been militarily defeated.Speaking in an interview with independent journalist Sharyl Attkisson that aired on Sunday, Trump said Irans military capabilities had been severely weakened during the ongoing conflict involving US and Israeli operations.Theyre militarily defeated. In their own minds, maybe they dont know that. But I think they do, Trump said during the interview, which was recorded last week. That doesnt mean theyre done.Trump also suggested the United States still had additional military targets it could strike inside Iran if the conflict escalated further.He suggested the US military could go in for two more weeks and do every single target. We have certain targets that we wanted, and weve done probably 70 percent of them, but we have other targets that we could conceivably hit, he said. But even if we didnt do that, you know, that would just be final touches.The remarks come amid reports that Iran has responded to the latest US proposal aimed at ending the conflict, which reportedly began on February 28 following US and Israeli strikes on Iranian positions.Trump also criticised NATO during the interview, accusing allied nations of failing to adequately support Washingtons military efforts. NATO has proven to be a paper tiger. They werent there to help, he said.The comments are likely to further heighten tensions surrounding the conflict as diplomatic efforts continue alongside military operations in the region.The post
