Trump: We have removed the nuclear weapon from Iran's grasp

What happened: U.S. President Donald Trump said he “removed” a nuclear weapons threat from the Islamic Republic of Iran and that he fully rescinded the Obama administration’s deal with Iran.

Source and additional claims: Trump made the comments in an interview reported by Tejarat News. He also said critics focus on alleged billions spent on “this war” while ignoring profits the U.S. gained in Venezuela, claimed the U.S. has been at war with Iran since 1979, and asserted that oil volumes transiting the Strait of Hormuz are higher now than seven months ago.
