"We've already won in many ways, but we haven't won enough. Trump wanted to reach a situation where Iran would not be able to have a nuclear weapons program and would need a long time before it could threaten the region again with ballistic missiles, claiming after ten days of fighting, the U.S. military is where it thought it would be only after a month of war."
"It's all gone. We could call it a tremendous success right now. I could call it or we could go further, and we're going to go further, but the big risk on that war has been over for three days. Trump listed U.S. military achievements including destruction of the Iranian navy, air force, anti-aircraft systems, radar and telecommunications, and decimation of Iran's leadership."
"If Iran will try harming oil supply it will be hit much stronger by the U.S. Trump focused on rising oil prices, claiming the situation is temporary and that once Iran no longer poses a threat to the region or commercial shipping, the oil market will be much more stable."
Trump made statements at a press conference aimed at stabilizing global stock markets amid regional conflict. He claimed the U.S. military achieved its month-long objectives in just ten days, citing destruction of Iran's navy, air force, anti-aircraft systems, radar, telecommunications, and leadership. Trump stated the primary war risks ended three days prior but indicated willingness to continue operations. He focused on oil price concerns, characterizing elevated prices as temporary and contingent on Iran's regional threat level. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps responded by asserting control over war outcomes and threatening to halt regional oil exports if attacks continued, prompting Trump's counter-threat regarding stronger U.S. military response.
