President Trump said the war with Iran “is very complete” and “far ahead of schedule” — as he also considers taking control of the Strait of Hormuz trade route under siege by the Islamic Republic.
Trump hailed Operation Epic Fury as a success on Monday, suggesting that his previous prediction of a multi-week war may not be necessary.
“I think the war is very complete, pretty much,” the president told CBS news.
“[Iran has] no navy, no communications, they’ve got no air force. Their missiles are down to a scatter,” he added. “…”If you look, they have nothing left. There’s nothing left in a military sense.”
“We’re very far ahead of schedule,” Trump said of the war, which is in its second week.
