Iran War: President Trump Suggests U.S. Goals Are 'Pretty Well Complete'

Trump claims U.S. objectives in the Iran conflict are nearly achieved despite military and intelligence officials warning the war could last months, while oil prices surged above $100 per barrel.

  • Amid contrasting remarks, President Donald Trump told CBS News he considered the Iran war very complete, but later cast victory as ongoing in his Miami speech.
  • Brent crude briefly nearing $120 as prices rose nearly 30% last week amid the Iran war and Middle East production cuts on Sunday evening.
  • Claiming battlefield degradation, President Donald Trump revised Iranian ships sunk to 51 and said Iran's missile capacity was down to about 10%
  • After Trump's Miami address, futures tied to the Dow, S&P and Nasdaq slid 0.3%, with Monday close at Dow Jones Industrial Average 47,740.95, S&P 500 6,795.90 and Nasdaq Composite 22,695.946.
  • With timelines at odds, Trump suggested four or five weeks, while U.S. Central Command projects at least 100 days, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned the fight is just beginning.
