What the evidence supports
The United States produced more oil and gas than Saudi Arabia and Russia combined.
Production data broadly supported the combined comparison, although totals vary depending on the petroleum definition used.
U.S. strikes had totally obliterated three Iranian nuclear sites.
The strikes damaged the sites and set back enrichment, but expert and intelligence assessments did not support complete destruction of the sites or Iran’s nuclear capability.
Iran was right at the doorstep of possessing a nuclear bomb.
Arms-control experts found no evidence that a weapon was imminent or that Iran had resumed the necessary weaponization work before the operation.
Iran would soon have had missiles capable of reaching the American homeland.
Arms-control experts disputed the claim, and the reviewed public evidence did not establish a reliable near-term timetable.
The United States became the world’s leading oil and gas producer because of Trump’s leadership.
The United States became the top producer of natural gas and petroleum before Trump’s first presidential term, so the production ranking cannot be attributed solely to his leadership.
The United States had no inflation.
Consumer prices were 2.4% higher than a year earlier.
Iran's new leadership was less radical and more reasonable after regime change.
Iran's new supreme leader was viewed as at least as hard-line, while the Revolutionary Guard had gained influence.
The United States was totally independent of Middle Eastern oil and unaffected by regional supply.
Direct imports were limited, but globally traded oil prices and U.S. gasoline costs remained exposed to Middle Eastern disruption.
More than $18 trillion in record-setting investment was coming into the United States.
The White House's own compilation was far lower and included speculative or previously announced commitments.
Obama gave Iran $1.7 billion in cash.
The payment settled a decades-old debt for military equipment the United States never delivered; it was not a gift.
