Trump reiterates that US attacks brought Iran back to 'the Stone Ages' US president Donald Trump said that Iran's "power has been largely taken away" following US strikes on the country.

"Now, they have something left, but it’s been largely taken away. As an example, their military had 159 ships; 159 ships are under the sea," he told Newsmax.
