Trump says Iran in a ‘state of collapse’

Published
Iran's army says it does not consider the war with the United States and Israel to be over, and it has updated its target database. It says Iranian naval forces now control the eastern part of the Strait of Hormuz, while the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is responsible for security in the western part. But Donald Trump says Iran has informed the US it is in a "state of collapse" and wants the US to "open the Hormuz Strait as soon as possible".
