US President Donald Trump has expressed satisfaction with Washington’s war on Iran, noting that Iran’s military has been largely destroyed, and its manufacturing capacity is “almost gone”.

“We’ve done an amazing job here, we’re in there for five months, and if you look at Vietnam, they were there for 20 years,” he tells a cabinet meeting at Camp David.

“We’re in for five months, and we have obliterated their (Iran) military capacity. Again, they’ve got some left, but soon they won’t have some left,” Trump adds, praising his cabinet.
