Trump says US carrying out ‘major combat operations in Iran

Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojitaba Khamenei a disappointing choice: Trump


US President Donald Trump on Monday (March 9) said Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojitaba Khamenei was a disappointing choice.
He also said when United States is done with the military operation against Iran, Tehran will no longer have any capacity of weaponry against the United States, Israel and any US allies for a long time.
“When they’re not going to be starting the following day to develop a nuclear weapon, where they’ll look at that man and some other people from the administration and say, all right, we’re not going to do it. They were not willing to say that. And when Steve called up and he said that to me, I said, well, here we go, let’s do it the hard way. But the hard way, I think, is probably the easy way when basically I can see that they will no longer have any capacity whatsoever for a very long period of time of developing weaponry that could be used against the United States, Israel or any of our allies. We have great allies in the Middle East, great countries that are allies,” said Trump.
When questioned about whether he considered seizing the Strait of Hormuz, Trump responded.
“Well, I want to keep it open. I want to keep it good. You know, it doesn’t pertain to us so much as it does to China. We’re really helping China here and other countries because they get a lot of their energy from the strait. But hey, look, we have a good relationship with China. It’s my honor to do it.”
