Investing.com – U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that military operations in Iran have advanced ahead of schedule, causing significant damage to the country’s military infrastructure.

Trump stated during a meeting with the 2025 Major League Soccer champion team that the U.S. military, in cooperation with Israeli partners, has destroyed most of Iran’s missile and drone capabilities. He said missile launchers are being hit within four minutes of firing.

Trump claimed that the Iranian navy lost 24 ships in three days, and the country’s air defense weapons, air force, aircraft, and communication systems have been eliminated. He stated that approximately 60% to 64% of Iran’s missiles and launchers have been destroyed.

The president said Iranian officials are asking how to reach an agreement, but he hinted that the U.S. hopes to continue military actions. Trump blamed Iran and former Iranian General Qasem Soleimani for most of the U.S. casualties over the past 47 years.

On Wednesday, the Trump administration announced measures to help stabilize oil prices, including providing political risk insurance for tankers passing through the Gulf region. Trump said further actions to reduce oil price pressures are imminent, and oil prices have already stabilized.

Trump claimed that the Dow Jones Industrial Average reached 50,000 points in his first year in office, a milestone that was expected to take four years to achieve. He stated that although the scale of military operations exceeded his expectations, they have proven effective.

The president referenced previous actions in Venezuela and the “Midnight Hammer” attack in Iran, saying these laid the groundwork for current military operations. He called on members of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, military, and police to lay down their weapons, saying they have the opportunity to take back their country.
