SAEDNEWS: In a startling admission broadcast globally, former U.S. President Donald Trump publicly conceded Iran’s ballistic missiles had destroyed multiple Israeli buildings during the recent conflict, marking a rare moment of recognition from Washington's hawkish right.
According to Saed News, former U.S. President Donald Trump made an uncharacteristically candid statement regarding the destructive capacity of Iran’s ballistic missile arsenal, acknowledging that “several Israeli buildings were flattened” during Tehran’s retaliatory strikes. The remarks, captured in a now-viral video, have stirred significant international commentary and fueled debate about the shifting balance of power in the Middle East.
The admission came amid heightened scrutiny over Washington’s support for Tel Aviv during the 12-day war, which concluded with an uneasy ceasefire earlier this week. While Trump stopped short of criticizing Israeli military strategy, his tone suggested a grudging respect for Iran’s tactical precision and military capabilities.
Trump’s comment is particularly noteworthy given his administration’s legacy of maximum pressure on Iran and unequivocal support for Israel. Analysts see this acknowledgment as a potential inflection point in how Iran’s deterrence is perceived, especially in the West.
The Iranian government, which has long touted its missile program as a pillar of national defense, seized on Trump’s statement as validation. State media aired the clip repeatedly, framing it as international confirmation of what Iranian officials call “a strategic victory.”
Although current U.S. officials have not responded directly, the video underscores a broader geopolitical reality: Iran’s military strikes, once dismissed as symbolic, are now commanding serious global attention.
