Donald Trump says the United States has strengthened its military position in recent weeks.
Donald Trump claimed in a CNBC interview that the United States is now “much more powerful than five weeks ago” as tensions with Iran continue.
Trump said the U.S. has used recent weeks to rebuild ammunition supplies and strengthen military readiness. He claimed America is now “totally loaded up” with weapons and resources, while suggesting Iran may also have restocked some capabilities.
The president also repeated threats to strike Iranian infrastructure, including bridges and electrical facilities. Trump argued such targets could disrupt military logistics, alleging Iran uses bridges for weapons transport and missile movement.
He further claimed that many Iranian missiles had already been destroyed and that Tehran was attempting to reposition remaining systems during the ceasefire period. No public evidence was provided to support those assertions.
Trump also raised suspicion about possible Chinese support for Iran during recent conflict tensions. Referring to a seized vessel, he suggested it may have carried assistance linked to China, though he said he had no proof.
The comments come as negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program remain uncertain. Trump has demanded Tehran abandon any nuclear weapons ambitions, a central issue in ongoing diplomatic tensions.
Legal experts have previously warned that deliberate attacks on civilian infrastructure such as water systems or power grids could violate international law if carried out during war.
The latest remarks are likely to increase pressure on already fragile talks and deepen concerns about another regional escalation.
For now, diplomacy remains uncertain as both rhetoric and military warnings intensify.
