Donald Trump says US will be "safer, stronger, more prosperous" after Iran campaign

In the context of ongoing U.S. military operations against Iran, former President Donald Trump pledged that once the campaign concludes, America would emerge safer, stronger, and more prosperous than ever. The remark came amid a series of American airstrikes that lasted thirteen consecutive days, after which attacks were halted following a meeting with top military commanders. Reports indicate the Pentagon faces critical shortages of Patriot missile interceptors—over half the stockpile had been expended by late April—and that continued combat could dangerously deplete remaining supplies. Two Iranian ballistic missiles recently struck a Jordanian air base used by U.S. forces, killing three American soldiers. The halt in operations underscores growing logistical constraints that contrast with Trump’s stated vision of a strengthened nation.
