Trump Predicts Short-Lived War with Iran, Warns Against Oil Disruption
Trump calls the U.S.-Israel campaign a short-term effort to eliminate threats from Iran, citing a 90% drop in Iranian missile launches, while avoiding a set end date.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump described the U.S.-Israel campaign as a 'tremendous success' and a 'short-term excursion' during remarks at Doral, Florida.
- Citing threats, Trump argued Iran posed an imminent danger and was '100%' ready to attack the United States, Israel and the Middle East, while officials warned the U.S. would retaliate if Iran restricted ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
- Military assessments say strikes caused a 90% decline in Iranian missile launchers and an 83% drop in drone launches, with more than 1,000 people killed and seven U.S. combat deaths.
- Markets reacted as oil surged past $100 yesterday, with President Trump saying prices increased but less than expected.
- Asked about contrasting views, Trump said 'Well, I think you could say both', as U.S. forces' timeline remains uncertain and other officials note they have only just begun fighting.
