Trump calls Iran war ‘very complete, pretty much’, then admits ‘we haven’t won enough’ in the same breath

Donald Trump has given a conflicting take on the ongoing war in Iran, telling reporters that the conflict is “very complete, pretty much” while also admitting, “we haven’t won enough.” He made these comments ahead of a speech and press conference in Florida, apparently trying to reassure Republican allies that the US military campaign would be ending soon.

Trump said, “I think the war is very complete, pretty much. They have no navy, no communications, they’ve got no air force.” Speaking to Republicans, he said, “We took a little excursion because we felt we had to do that to get rid of some evil. I think you’ll see it’s going to be a short-term excursion.” He then walked that back, stating, “We’ve already won in many ways, but we haven’t won enough.”
