Trump says the war is basically over.

According to a post by the Columbia Broadcasting System's White House correspondent on social media on the afternoon of March 9th local time, President Trump reportedly said in a phone interview that the war may soon be coming to an end. Trump was quoted as saying, "I think the war is basically over, almost. They have no navy, no communication system, and no air force." Trump also reportedly said that the progress is much faster than the initial estimated timeframe of 4 to 5 weeks. The reporter also mentioned that when asked about Iran's newly appointed Supreme Leader Ebrahim Raisi, Trump said, "I have nothing to say about him, nothing at all." Trump claimed that there is already a replacement for Raisi in mind, but did not provide further details.
