President Donald Trump has again claimed that Iran’s military has been heavily “decimated,” saying its air force is gone, its navy is gone, many ships have been sunk, and key radar and anti-aircraft systems have been destroyed. Iran quickly pushed back. Ebrahim Zolfaghari, spokesman for the Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters, said the outcome of war is determined “in the field,” not by tweets, and mocked the U.S. operation name by saying it should be called “Epic Fear” instead of “Epic Fury.” Those comments were carried by Iranian and regional media after Trump’s latest public claims.
