U.S. President Donald Trump said late on July 19 local time that American forces were carrying out what he described as "heavy bombing" against Iran, framing the operation as retaliation for three U.S. service members killed in a Middle Eastern country. He made the remarks to reporters after arriving at Joint Base Andrews aboard Air Force One.
Trump also said U.S. forces had struck Iran for a ninth consecutive night. In the same comments, he claimed Iran had suffered extremely severe damage and said its military capability was nearly exhausted. According to his description, Iran still had some missiles, some drones, and limited manufacturing capacity left, but "not much."
He added that the United States controlled the Strait of Hormuz and said Iran now controlled nothing. The remarks were cited by CCTV International News and carried by Odaily as a 7x24 newsflash.
