JAKARTA - US President Donald Trump said the Iran war was going faster than originally expected, with the results it had achieved very good, referring to the claim that Tehran's power was paralyzed, according to a reporter on the social media X, citing an interview with him.
"I think this war is very complete, almost. They have no navy, no communications, they have no Air Force," President Trump said, quoted by CBS News White House correspondent Weijia Jiang, launching Al Arabiya from Reuters (10/3).
President Trump also said the Uncle Sam "is far ahead" of the original estimate of 4-5 weeks to achieve the current war results.
It is known that the Middle East region is heating up in line with the Israeli and US attacks on Iran on February 28 which killed a number of senior officials in Tehran, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The attacks, which have also killed more than 1,300 civilians and children, are entering their second week, and Iran has responded by attacking Israeli territory and US military facilities in a number of Middle Eastern countries.
Regarding the new Supreme Leader of Iran, Mojtaba Khamenei, Trump told CBS News: "I don't have a message for him." President Trump said he had someone in mind to replace Khamenei, but did not elaborate.
Mojataba, the son of the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, on Monday was announced as Iran's Supreme Leader, replacing his father. He was elected by obtaining 85 percent of the votes in the election in the Assembly of Experts, according to the Iranian Embassy in Jakarta in a written statement.
