Iran Slaps Down Trump's 'Nonsense' Claim War Could Soon Be 'Over'

President Donald Trump speaks at a news conference, Monday, March 9, 2026, at Trump National Doral Miami in Doral, Fla. 

Donald Trump’s claim that the war in Iran might soon be “over” has been dismissed by the country’s regime.

Amid rising oil prices and a turbulent energy market, the US president told CBS News his offensive “is very complete, pretty much” ten days after he and Israel initiated strikes on Iran.

“They have no navy, no communications, they’ve got no air force,” he said.
