President Donald Trump said the ongoing conflict with Iran is “very complete, pretty much,” suggesting that U.S. and allied military operations have already achieved most of their goals.
The comments came as Trump discussed the war during recent interviews and briefings. According to the president, U.S. forces have heavily damaged Iran’s military capabilities during the campaign.
Trump claimed that Iranian naval forces, air defenses, and communications systems have been severely weakened after thousands of strikes carried out during the operation.
Despite the confident tone from Washington, the conflict itself is still ongoing. Iranian officials say their country will continue resisting and launching attacks as long as necessary.
The situation has also created global concern because of its potential impact on oil supply routes and regional stability in the Middle East.
Trump has also spoken with Russian President Vladimir Putin about the crisis. Reports say the leaders discussed the escalating situation and possible ways to prevent a wider conflict.
While the U.S. president says the military campaign is close to being finished, analysts warn that tensions remain high and the conflict could still evolve in unpredictable ways
