#Trump repeated that he had already “obliterated” #Iran, but then a reporter asked if that was indeed true, why was the #US still at #war.

Trump deflected by saying: “It’s a big country. They can’t fight back. They have no capability. I mean, they have some missiles left, they have some drones left, but essentially they have no capability.”

He called the shooting down of American aircraft last week “a lucky shot.”

#Trump went on to say that if it was up to him, he would “keep the #oil” in #Iran [#thief]. “Unfortunately the American people would like to see us come home,” he said. [unfortunately?]

“I also want to make the people of our country happy. I think most people wouldn’t understand that.”

He said he would speak more at a news conference scheduled for 1PM.

#Iran said it would respond “crushingly” if #Trump carried out his threats to strike #PowerPlants & #bridges unless Tehran reopens the #StraitOfHormuz by Trump’s newly extended Tuesday deadline.

Trump has threatened repeatedly to bombard critical Iranian #infrastructure unless Iranian forces meet his deadlines to end their de facto blockade on the Strait of #Hormuz.
