President Donald Trump on Monday said that the U.S.-Israeli operation against Iran is “very complete,” giving an indication that the one-week-long war is coming to an end soon.

“I think the war is very complete, pretty much,” Trump told Weijia Jiang, CBS’s senior White House correspondent. “They have no navy, no communications, they’ve got no Air Force,” he said, according to Jiang.
