Trump Declares Iran War 'Basically Over' Despite Israel Booking More Airstrikes
KEY POINTS
- â˘President Trump told Axios on Wednesday the Iran war will end soon, claiming 'practically nothing left to target,'
- â˘Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said the conflict will continue indefinitely until all military objectives are met,
- â˘U.S. struck 16 Iranian mine-laying boats Tuesday after intelligence warned about new mines in the Strait of Hormuz.
In a phone chat anyone could barely keep up with, President Trump announced Wednesday that the war with Iran will end 'soon' because there's 'practically nothing left to target,' charming Axios with his five-minute mic drop. Meanwhile, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz apparently missed the memo, insisting the war will rage 'without any time limit' until they score a decisive win. Tehran apparently tried to get cunning by laying a 'very small' number of mines in the Strait of Hormuzâdestroyed promptly by U.S. strikes that obliterated 16 mine-laying boats on Tuesday. CENTCOMâs Admiral Brad Cooper bragged about 'devastating combat power' as Iranian attacks plummeted. Trump, on a winning streak, bragged Iran is now paying even for '47 years of death and destruction,' and China-throat-troubled Israel's President Herzog got roasted by Trump over Netanyahu's pending pardon dramaâthe courts paused Netanyahuâs trial since the war started, so Bibi can focus on the 'winning.' Four U.S. objectives? Destroy missiles, annihilate the navy, smush terrorist proxies, and block nukes. All this under timelines varying from 'soon' to 'a few more weeks' to a mystery Netflix series of bombs.
