Trump asserts US strength amid Iran conflict and doubts Russian intel claims

Donald Trump said the United States has never been more powerful, noting that his actions have significantly set back Iran's nuclear program, pushing the regime further from acquiring a nuclear weapon. He emphasized that the Iranian regime remains far from becoming a regional power.

Trump expressed skepticism about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's accusation that Russia provided military intelligence to Iran, stating he does not believe Russia shared high‑level intel and promising to ask Russian President Vladimir Putin directly about the claim. The president also highlighted the latest U.S. casualty figures from the conflict, now counting 624 wounded service members and 18 killed.

The statements came as the Pentagon revised its casualty tally upward and as discussions continue about the extent of Russian involvement in the Iran‑U.S. confrontation.
