Fact check: President Trump stated that Iran still possesses some military capability.

Verdict: mostly true — Trust Score 75/100

The post accurately reports President Trump's statements on Iran's military capabilities and the proposals from Adm. Brad Cooper and Gen. Dan Caine regarding potential military action,. However, the use of 'BREAKING' is somewhat misleading as some of the reports are a few days old, and the accompanying images are generic and not directly linked to the specific events described in the text.
