US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the three-week military operation against Iran will come to an end in the near future. “We’re not ready to leave yet, but we’ll be leaving in the near future. We’ll be leaving in pretty much the very near future, but right now, they’ve been decimated from every standpoint,” Trump told reporters during his meeting with Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin. “Iran is just a military operation to me. Iran is something that was essentially largely over in two or three days because the navy was wiped out almost immediately, the air force came next... it’s going to be a prosperous, wonderful place... it used to be very successful. Now, it’s a country run by fear,” he added. – Kina
