Trump also claimed the U.S. has secret communication channels with Iranian Revolutionary Guard officials, dismissing Tehran's statements as "bluff. He asserted that America still possesses a strong weapons capability, arguing that a significant portion of advanced arms were sent to Ukraine during the Biden administration.
