Trump is giving a typically upbeat assessment of US military operations against Iran.
He says the US military has struck more than 5000 targets since the war began in Iran.
Trump said “some of them very major targets,” but commanders are leaving “some of the most important targets for later in case we need to do it.”
“If we hit them, it’s going to take many years for them to be rebuilt, having to do with electricity production and many other things,” Trump said.
He also says Iran was going to “take over the Middle East” and attack Israel before the US launched strikes late last month.
“We’re achieving major strides toward completing our military objective, and some people could say they’re pretty well complete,” he said.
“We’ve wiped every single force in Iran out very completely.”
