Trump after meeting with Qatari PM says he believes war with Iran is militarily 'effectively over'
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Monday told reporters he believe the war in Iran “militarily is effectively over.”
The president made a surprise visit to White House briefing room after meeting with Qatar’s prime minister earlier in the day.
“Iran militarily is effectively over,” Trump said. “We’re just keeping it the status quo.”
Trump added that Iran has been “decapitated” but said he is still looking to make sure there’s a long-term solution to ensuring that Iran’s nuclear program is defanged.
