The new comments from the president were carried by CBS News on Monday.
President Donald Trump on Monday said that the U.S. operation against Iran is “very complete,” giving an indication that the one-week-long war is coming to an end soon.
“I think the war is very complete, pretty much,” Trump told Weijia Jiang, CBS’s senior White House correspondent. “They have no navy, no communications, they’ve got no Air Force,” he said, according to Jiang.
The CBS also reported asking Trump whether he had a comment for Iran’s new leader Mojtaba Khamenei, who was named by the regime over the past weekend. Trump stated, “I have no message for him. None, whatsoever.”
The president added that the United States is “very far” ahead of the initial four-to-five week estimated timetable.
“They’ve shot everything they have to shoot, and they better not try anything cute, or it’s going to be the end of that country,” he said, referring to Iran’s military.
