On July 19, US President Donald Trump acknowledged that Iran, despite the strikes carried out by the US Armed Forces, retains stocks of missiles and drones, as well as certain production capabilities for the production of weapons, APA reports.
"They have some missiles. They have some drones. They have some production facilities, not too many," Trump told reporters at the Andrews military base near Washington.
According to the American leader, the United States controls the Strait of Hormuz, while Iran controls nothing. Trump added that Washington would launch a new, very powerful strike against Iran tonight.
