In US Military Role, the US president described the Iran war as possibly ending very soon with the assault deemed "very complete," while warning of potential future strikes on Iran's electrical grid if oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz are disrupted, and in separate remarks he asserted that Iran has sunk 51 ships and that its missile capability has fallen to about 10%, while saying Iran seeks nuclear weapons and has rejected offers of unlimited free fuel.
