President Trump said Monday that the U.S. war with Iran could soon be nearing its end, claiming the country’s military capabilities have been largely destroyed after days of intense U.S. strikes.
President Trump said Monday that the U.S. war with Iran could soon be nearing its end, claiming the country’s military capabilities have been largely destroyed after days of intense U.S. strikes.
TSA staffing shortages tied to the partial government shutdown led to hours-long security lines at airports in Houston, Atlanta, and New Orleans on Sunday — just as spring break travel is kicking off.
President Trump warned Friday that the U.S. will not make a deal with the Iranian regime unless it agrees to an "unconditional surrender.”
“After that, and the selection of a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s), we, and many of our wonderful and very brave allies and partners, will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction,” Trump wrote.
The U.S.–Israeli war with Iran has created a power vacuum in Iran after the assassination of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Saturday, and President Trump says he wants a role in choosing Iran’s next leader.
