Iran on Thursday (Apr 2) has issued a sharp response after US President Donald Trump’s latest speech, dismissing his claims of having “destroyed” its missile capabilities. In a sarcastic remark, the Iranian Consulate in Mumbai mocked ongoing air raid sirens in Israel, suggesting they were “meteor shower from Mars.” The reaction came after Trump strongly defended the war in his national address, vowing to “finish the job” soon while asserting that Iran’s military, including its navy, air force, and missile systems, has been largely decimated. Despite his claims of major success, the address offered little clarity on ceasefire efforts or measures to ease rising global energy prices. In fact, oil prices sharply rose after his address.&nbsp;&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/-iran-is-decimated-but-war-not-over-trump-repeats-negotiations-claims-says-strikes-to-continue-for-2-3-weeks-1775090848149">'Iran is decimated' but war NOT over: Trump repeats old claims in new address</a>

He reiterated that regime change is not the goal, outlining objectives such as destroying Iran’s military capabilities and preventing nuclear weapons. Trump defended the war by criticising the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action and recalling past actions like the killing of Qasem Soleimani. He said diplomacy had failed but hinted that talks are ongoing, even as he warned of continued strikes for two to three weeks. On the Strait of Hormuz, he suggested it would reopen “naturally” and urged other nations to take responsibility, while also claiming the US does not rely on Iranian oil. Thanking regional allies, he assured protection against Iran but offered no clear endgame, blending claims of victory with signals of further escalation.

Iran dismissed Trump’s claims of destroyed missile capabilities after his national address, mocking reports of air raid sirens in Israel. Trump touted Iran’s military as “decimated,” warned of continued strikes, and claimed US oil independence, while offering no clear endgame
