Trump announces new powerful US strikes on Iran

We are crushing them (Iran. — Ed.) to pieces. I think it's going very well. It's very powerful. We have the best military in the world, and we are using it.

President of the United States
As for how long the fighting might last, the president said he did not want the conflict to drag on.
I always thought they would last four weeks. And we're a little ahead of schedule.
When asked if the US was doing anything more than a military strike to help the Iranian people take back control of their country from the regime, Trump replied: "Yes."
We really do. But right now we want everyone to stay home. It's dangerous outside... We haven't even started hitting them hard yet. The big wave hasn't even come yet. The big wave will come soon.
