Donald Trump’s war on Iran isn’t nearly as far along as he’s willing to admit.
Top intelligence officials have repeatedly told the president, 79, that the Iranian regime is heavily fortifying its defenses and is prepared to wage counterattacks against the United States for an extended period of time, two of the president’s advisers and two additional sources told Zeteo this week. Additionally, Reuters reported on Wednesday that United States intelligence has concluded that Iran’s leadership is largely intact and nowhere near at risk of being toppled after two weeks of bombardment from the U.S. and Israel.
Despite that, Trump has publicly declared victory in the war he started, telling Axios on Wednesday that the conflict would end “soon” because “there is practically nothing left” of targets in Iran. Notably, the president has demanded nothing short of “unconditional surrender” from the Iranian regime.
