Iran rebuffs Trump’s claims of ‘obliterating’ key military sites: ‘You know nothing, will never be able to reach’

“Our strategic military production takes place in places that you have no knowledge of at all and will never be able to reach,” he said, adding that they have targeted the centres that were quite insignificant.

Refuting US President’s repeated claims of eliminating Iran’s ability to build a nuclear weapon, Tehran Thursday said that the United States and Israel is unaware of the Islamic Republic’s “vast and strategic” capabilities, Iran’s Press TV reported.

“As we already said, we tell the American-Zionist enemies that your information about our military power and equipment is incomplete. You know nothing about our vast and strategic capabilities,” Iran’s Press TV quoted Lieutenant-Colonel Ebrahim Zolfaqari, spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, as saying.

“Our strategic military production takes place in places that you have no knowledge of at all and will never be able to reach,” he said, adding that they have targeted the centres that were quite insignificant.

Rebuffing US-Israel’s claims of having destroyed Iran’s strategic missile production centres, modern air defence and electronic warfare systems, Zolfaqar said: “If you have such an idea, you will only deepen the quagmire in which you have been trapped.”

In a White House address, Trump on Thursday said the US ‘obliterated’ Iran’s nuclear sites with B2 bombers “so hard so hard that it would take months to get near the nuclear dust.” “We have it under intense satellite surveillance and control,” Trump said. “If we see them make a move, even a move for it, we will hit them with missiles very hard again. We have all the cards. They have none,” he said.

On Tuesday, Trump said “I had one goal… They will have no nuclear weapon, and that goal has been attained.”
