Tehran: Iran’s Acting Defense Minister, Brigadier General Majid Ibn-Reza, has rejected US President Donald Trump’s claim that the Iranian military has been completely destroyed.

Ibn-Reza stated that fabricated war scenarios cannot conceal the US military’s exhaustion and the escalating costs of war; public pressure against the war, the fatigue of US forces, and rising expenses have impacted Washington’s strategy.

The Iranian Defense Minister asserted that claims regarding the destruction of the defense industry cannot alter Iran’s capabilities or its capacity for action on the battlefield.
