President Donald Trump delivered an uncompromising statement on the US military campaign against Iran on Friday, vowing to dismantle the country’s missile capabilities, destroy its naval forces, and guarantee that Tehran never acquires a nuclear weapon.
Speaking in characteristically blunt terms, Trump said the United States would “destroy their missiles and raze their missile industry to the ground” and “annihilate their navy,” language that signals Washington is pursuing not a limited strike but a comprehensive degradation of Iran’s military infrastructure.
The President also turned his attention to Iran’s network of regional proxy groups the administration has long designated as terrorist organizations, pledging that the US would ensure they “can no longer destabilise the region or the world.”

The statement appeared to signal that the campaign could extend beyond Iranian territory to target Iran-backed forces across the Middle East.
On the nuclear question, Trump was unequivocal. “They will never have a nuclear weapon,” he said. “It is a very simple message.” The remark framed the military operation not as a response to a specific provocation but as a definitive, long-term guarantee backed by force.
He closed with a direct warning to the Iranian government. “This regime will soon learn that no one should challenge the strength and might of the United States Armed Forces.”
The statements came as American B-2 stealth bombers continued operations against Iranian nuclear sites including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan, in a joint campaign with Israel that marks the most direct US military confrontation with Iran in history.
Tehran has yet to issue a formal response to Trump’s remarks. Regional governments and world powers are closely watching for signs of Iranian retaliation, which US military commanders have said they are fully prepared to meet.
This is a developing story.
