US President Donald Trump has again slammed Iran’s peace proposal, calling it “stupid”, while suggesting Iran’s military power was significantly depleted.

During a maternal healthcare event at the White House, in comments broadcast by Fox News, the president said of the Iranian proposal, “It’s a stupid proposal and nobody would take it — although Obama would have taken it, Biden would have taken it. What they took was far worse.”

“They had 159 ships, and right now they have zero, other than the little speedboats they go around that got taken out eight a day by us,” he added, adding that Iran also had “no air force”.
