President Donald Trump said Friday the United States is “getting very close” to achieving its military objectives against Iran, signaling a potential winding down of Operation Epic Fury after nearly three weeks.
“We are getting very close to meeting our objectives as we consider winding down our great Military efforts in the Middle East,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
He outlined five core goals of the campaign, including “completely degrading Iranian Missile Capability,” “destroying Iran’s Defense Industrial Base,” and “eliminating their Navy and Air Force.”
Trump also outlined that the U.S. would “never” allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons and would remain ready to respond “quickly and powerfully” if needed.
The president said protecting regional allies including Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) remains a top priority.
On the Strait of Hormuz, Trump suggested the U.S. should not take the lead in securing the critical waterway.
“The Hormuz Strait will have to be guarded and policed, as necessary, by other Nations who use it — The United States does not!” he wrote, adding the U.S. would assist if asked but “it shouldn’t be necessary once Iran’s threat is eradicated.”
