US could ‘easily’ bypass Iranian air defenses, ‘they have no army’
US Senator Markwayne Mullin on "Hannity" delivered a blunt warning about Iran’s military vulnerability, stating that Donald Trump “does not bluff” and that the US could easily penetrate Iranian air defenses if ordered to act.
Speaking about US military capabilities, Mullin said Iran lacks a real army capable of withstanding American power, emphasizing that Tehran’s defenses would not pose a serious obstacle in a direct confrontation. His remarks reinforce the message coming from Washington that US deterrence under President Trump is backed by credible, overwhelming force — not empty threats.
The comments come amid rising regional tensions and growing signals from the US administration that Iran’s nuclear ambitions and regional aggression will not be tolerated. Mullin’s warning reflects confidence within the US political and security establishment that Iran understands the consequences of miscalculation.
