Trump on Iran:
Iran was supposed to be this big, powerful country. We wrapped the hell out of them.
And you know, I don’t know when they cry “uncle,” but they should have cried it two days ago, right?

Fox News provided further details on Trump’s speech:
The joint U.S. and Israeli military operation against Iran is crushing the regime in what President Donald Trump described Monday as an “overwhelming display of technical skill and military force.”
Trump spoke on Day 11 of Operation Epic Fury which is aimed at neutralizing the Iranian regime’s security apparatus and military capabilities.
“Together with our Israeli partners, we’re crushing the enemy,” Trump said before describing “an overwhelming display of technical skill and military force.”
“Iran’s drone and missile capability is being utterly demolished. The Navy is gone. It’s all lying at the bottom of the ocean. 46 ships.” He added.
Trump also warned that the campaign is decimating Iran’s leadership structure.
“Their terrorist leaders are gone, or counting down the minutes until they will be gone… and now nobody has any idea who the people are that are going to be the head of the country and we will not relent until the enemy is totally and decisively defeated,” Trump said.
Speaking at the Republican Members Issues Conference, Trump also pointed to recent military funding approved by lawmakers.
“The representatives in this room provided the pivotal votes in securing a record $1 trillion for the United States military this year. And now the world is witnessing the importance of that investment with one of the most complex and stunning operations ever conducted. And it’s Operation Epic Fury,” the president stated.
