Donald Trump has given a phone interview to CBS News, the BBC’s US media partner, in which he has signalled the war could end sooner than the administration has previously indicated. <\/p>\n
The US president is due to give a press conference in around ninety minutes where we may here or more. While we wait, here are his comments to CBS in full.<\/p>\n
On the progress of the war<\/b>: “I think the war is very complete, pretty much. They have no navy, no communications, they’ve got no air force. Their missiles are down to a scatter. Their drones are being blown up all over the place, including their manufacturing of drones. If you look, they have nothing left. There’s nothing left in a military sense.”<\/p>\n
On original timeline for operation<\/b>: <\/b>“We’re very far ahead of schedule… I don’t know, it depends. Wrapping up is all in my mind, nobody else’s.”<\/p>\n
On Iranian missiles<\/b>: “They’ve shot everything they have to shoot, and they better not try anything cute or it’s going to be the end of that country… If they do anything bad, that would [be] the end of Iran and you’d never hear the name again.”<\/p>\n
On the Strait of Hormuz<\/b>: US is “thinking about taking it over” and could do “a lot”.<\/p>\n
On if he has a preferred new Iranian leader in mind<\/b>: “I don’t want to say anything about that but yeah, I do.”<\/p>\n
On the new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei<\/b>: “I have no message for him. None, whatsoever.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
