Donald Trump claims US military can target Iranian strikes within three minutes

During an election rally in Sioux City, Iowa, Donald Trump stated that United States forces can identify and strike Iranian launch sites within three minutes of a discharge. He claimed that Iranian forces frequently attempt to flee the scene immediately after firing.

Trump asserted that the U.S. has eliminated first, second, and third-tier leaders of the Islamic Republic, mockingly noting that there is currently no one left to negotiate with. He emphasized that his primary objective remains preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

Regarding economic and maritime measures, Trump defended the naval blockade of Iran, claiming it has successfully halted the country's oil revenues. He also referenced reports suggesting increased oil transit through the Strait of Hormuz and promised that oil and gasoline prices would decrease significantly following the conclusion of conflicts with Iran.
