President Trump claims the US has effectively neutralized Iran's military capabilities, including its navy and air force, and that Germany is providing support by allowing access to certain bases. This statement comes amidst ongoing tensions and military actions between the US and Iran, with Trump citing a 'feeling' that Iran was poised to attack the US, despite a lack of concrete evidence. The US-Israeli strikes on Iran have led to a rise in oil prices and global economic concerns, as expressed by German Chancellor Merz. The war's political implications are significant, with Merz facing potential backlash for Germany's support. Trump's comments have sparked debate, as the US president's authority to declare war is limited, and the operation's legality is under scrutiny.
