Trump Says U.S. Could Hit Every Target in Iran in Two Weeks

Former U.S. President Donald Trump said in a pre-recorded interview aired Sunday that the United States could hit "every single target" in Iran within two weeks, asserting the country is "militarily defeated." The comments were made during a discussion with independent journalist Sharyl Attkisson and released as Trump campaigns for a return to the White House.

Trump claimed the U.S. has already struck about 70% of designated targets in Iran and retains the capability to complete the remaining operations swiftly. "We have other targets that we could conceivably hit," he said, adding that further strikes would be "final touches" on an ongoing campaign. He did not specify when or under what authority such actions would occur.

In the same interview, Trump criticized NATO, calling the alliance a "paper tiger" and accusing member states of failing to support U.S. efforts against Iran. The comments come as Iran reportedly responds to a new U.S. diplomatic proposal aimed at de-escalating hostilities that began February 28 with joint U.S. and Israeli military strikes.

The current U.S. administration has not commented on Trump's statements, which reflect personal views rather than official policy. The United Nations Security Council is scheduled to meet Tuesday to discuss the latest developments in the Middle East conflict, including the Iranian response to the U.S. proposal.
