President Donald Trump on Sunday night said that he’s not ready to declare a U.S. victory in Iran but said that the country’s military has been significantly diminished in light of the two-week-long military campaign.

“No, I’m not going to do that. There’s no reason to,” Trump told reporters as he was speaking with reporters on Air Force One, referring to whether he would declare victory.
