The US Central Command denied on Saturday that any US service members had been taken hostage or captured by Iran.
In a post on X, Iranian security chief Ali Larijani said: “It has been reported to me that several American soldiers have been taken prisoner.”
US Navy Captain Tim Hawkins, a spokesperson for US Central Command, said: “The Iranian regime is doing everything it can to peddle lies and deceive. This is yet another clear example.”
Trump on Saturday evening said that he couldn't care less about threats made by Larijani, who had said that “Trump must pay” for the United States strikes on Iran.
“I have no idea what he is talking about, who he is. I couldn’t care less,” Trump said in an interview with CBS News late Saturday evening, adding that Larijani has “already been defeated.”
