Trump says US still has to 'take care' of one or two targets in Iran

President Donald Trump told reporters at his Florida residence on Saturday that the United States has destroyed Iran's navy, air force, and manufacturing capabilities. While he stated that the war with Iran is "going to end soon," he noted that the U.S. still needs to address one or two remaining targets. According to The Korea Times and Middle East Eye, this includes a suspected nuclear site known as Pickaxe Mountain, which Trump said could be dealt with "all very quickly."

Regarding diplomatic efforts, Trump stated that negotiations are "going fine" and that Iran wants to "make a deal," though he questioned Tehran's reliability and noted they have repeatedly backed out of agreements. Middle East Eye reported that Trump said Washington is "not in that much of a hurry" regarding the timeframe for the Qatari-mediated talks.

When asked by a reporter if he would go back to war against Iran as soon as this week, Trump responded, "Why would you ask such a stupid question? Let’s say I did, would I tell you?" Meanwhile, Hindustan Times - World News reported that Secretary of State Marco Rubio said no decision has been made on restarting military action, though the U.S. is prepared if another attack becomes necessary.
