Xinhua News Agency, Tehran, March 10 - According to a report from Iran's Tasnim News Agency on the 10th, a spokesperson for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) responded to U.S. President Trump's remarks regarding Iran, stating that Iran now possesses "more powerful and numerous" missiles.

The IRGC spokesperson, Naini, said that Trump falsely claimed that the number of Iran's missile launches had decreased or even ended, "However, now Iran's missiles are stronger and more numerous than at the beginning of the war," directly targeting U.S. and Israeli bases.

Naini also stated, "The U.S. president's claim that Iran's armed forces have no strength is to evade the pressure of war and to prevent the 'U.S. military from feeling despair.'

On the afternoon of the 9th, Trump, in a telephone interview with a CBS reporter, stated that he believed the military operations against Iran had been "very thorough," and claimed that Iran now "has no navy, no communication facilities, no air force, and very few missiles left, with drones and drone manufacturing facilities destroyed," adding, "From a military perspective, they have nothing left."
