After a chaotic weekend, the Iranian military conflict seems like a long, distant memory.

President Trump on Tuesday afternoon released a new statement on the current conflict in Iran.

Trump, in a post on Truth Social, shared that Iran is in a current state of “collapse”.

Fox News provided further details on Trump’s announcement:

Trump made the statement in a post to his Truth Social account, saying Tehran has urged the U.S. to end its blockade on Iranian ports.

“Iran has just informed us that they are in a ‘State of Collapse.’ They want us to ‘Open the Hormuz Strait,’ as soon as possible, as they try to figure out their leadership situation (Which I believe they will be able to do!)” Trump wrote.

CBS News has refuted Trump’s claims and reported Iran doesn’t seem to be in a state of collapse:

CBS News producer Seyed Rahim Bathaei in Tehran said Tuesday that, as far as he can see on the ground, the government remains fully in control and the country is not in a “state of collapse, by any standards at all.”

President Trump said in a brief social media post earlier Tuesday that Iran had “just informed us that they are in a ‘State of Collapse,'” without offering any further context on who had conveyed the message or what it was referring to.

“There are serious consequences coming due to the war, as we see there are shortages and high inflation and lack of supply [of some basic goods], however, what some sources outside the country don’t take into consideration is that Iran is used to harsh conditions in all aspects of economic, social and political” life after decades of international sanctions and tension with the West, said Bathaei.

Nonetheless, he said it was clear inside Iran that if the U.S. naval blockade continues preventing Iran from exporting its oil and gas, it “cannot be ignored” by the country’s rulers.

Here’s Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s latest comments on the situation in Iran:
