‘I’ll knock the hell out of it.’ Trump warns U.S. could attack Kharg Island again in call with PBS News
www.pbs.org
The comments came during a three-minute phone call Monday morning with PBS News' Liz Landers, while the president was attending what he described as a “very important meeting” on the Iran war.

Also:

“I didn’t want to hit the pipes because, you know, years of work to put them together,” he added. “It’s dead militarily now, totally. Every military area … they’ve fled.”

And

Trump said by phone Monday that “the oil prices will drop like a rock” as soon as the war is over.

When asked by PBS News when exactly that would be, Trump said, “Well, as soon as the war is over and it won’t … I don’t believe it will be long.”

    So we’re at war with a country that has no military?

    We’re asking for NATO help to secure the Strait of Hormuz for a military that has all fled?

    I mean isn’t a war over when the opposing military completely dead?

    Where the hell is my lower gas prices because it just went up this morning.

      No military and yet they just hit the US Embassy in Baghdad.

      Iran can poke and probe US defenses, time’s on their side. Look at Ukraine and Russia. Despite five years of attrition, both have greatly expanded their strike capabilities in the midst of a war. You can decentralize drone production and hide it underground very easily.
