US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that members of Iran's Revolutionary Guard are "fleeing and their leadership is unstable," noting that "the situation is getting worse" in Iran as the American blockade continues.

Writing on Truth Social, Trump stated: "The United States has complete control over the Strait of Hormuz. I believe we will maintain it. Everyone calls our naval blockade an iron wall, and Iran can do nothing about it."

He continued, saying that Iran "no longer has a navy or air force, their soldiers are not being paid, the Revolutionary Guard is fleeing, and its leadership is unstable."

Trump also claimed that Iran "has no money and is exhausted. All they have is fake news and 300% inflation. The situation is getting worse. Iran is all talk and no action. It is no longer the bully of the Middle East."
