"The war is going great. We are way ahead of the timetable. We have done more damage than we thought possible, even in the original six-week period. Sixteen mine-laying boats were destroyed by U.S. strikes on Tuesday, something the president confirmed to Axios."

"If Iran has put out any mines in the Hormuz Strait, and we have no reports of them doing so, we want them removed, IMMEDIATELY! If for any reason mines were placed, and they are not removed forthwith, the Military consequences to Iran will be at a level never seen before."

"Any time I want it to end, it will end. They were after the rest of the Middle East. They are paying for 47 years of death and destruction they caused. This is payback. They will not get off that easy."

President Trump provided an update on ongoing military strikes against Iran conducted by the U.S. and Israel, stating operations are ahead of schedule with greater damage inflicted than anticipated.
