Trump on Attacks on Iran: We Have Been Very Successful

US President Donald Trump said the attack on Iran proceeded as planned. He claimed that all of Iran’s military facilities had been destroyed. ‘We have been very successful,’ Trump said at the White House, sitting beside German Chancellor Friedrich Merz who was visiting, according to AFP, on Wednesday, 4 March 2026. ‘They do not have a navy; it has been destroyed. They do not have an air force; it has been destroyed. They do not have an air defence system — it has been destroyed,’ he continued. ‘He also acknowledged that Iran is still ’launching’ missiles at neighbouring Gulf states. But he said the US attacked Iranian missile-launch facilities.’ Earlier, the US and Israel were reported to be continuing strikes on Iran. About 300 Iranians decided to flee to Pakistan. According to BBC, on Tuesday, 3 March, at least 300 Iranians arrived in Pakistan, specifically in Balochistan Province. The province borders Iran. Balochistan is a volatile region and is home to separatist groups that have waged rebellion for decades.
