Trump declares Iran ‘dead’ and a ‘Failed Nation’, claims inflation has hit 300%

US President Donald Trump has declared Iran a “Failed Nation” and “dead”, while claiming the country is grappling with 300% inflation and severe political, military and economic turmoil.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said Iran had no navy, air force or currency and alleged that its soldiers and police were not being paid.

“Iran is officially a Failed Nation. IT IS DEAD! They have no Navy, they have no Air Force, they have no currency, they are not paying their soldiers or police, Inflation is at 300%, and their leadership is in total disarray and incapable of properly representing the country,” Trump said.


Trump also accused Iran's leadership of killing protesters and claimed that more than 100,000 people had died. He said those responsible should be tried for war crimes against humanity.

“The only thing they have is FAKE NEWS from the USA, a willingness to kill their protesters (now over 100,000 people dead. They must be tried for war crimes against humanity!), and a good line of “BULLSHIT.” Thank you for your attention to this matter!” he said.
