Well, the United States has struck more than 5,000 targets since the war began in Iran.

The president says in his press conference today that the operation is ahead of schedule and could be ending soon, in his words, and also said it could go further.

Today, he also told CBS that the war was, quote, very complete.

Many of the administration stated military goals appear to remain weeks away, and CNN has learned a ground operation to secure Iran's nuclear stockpile could also be on the table.

4-3 is now, and Donald Trump started it, but for goal 4-3, there is still no coherent explanation from the president or the White House as to what exactly this is all for.

CNBC calls it the biggest oil supply disruption in history.

Because there is no way to safely move it to market, Saudi Arabia has now cut its production of oil.

Iraq's production of oil is down to less than one-third what it was before

Trump started this war. In Qatar and Kuwait and Bahrain, major energy companies have declared

force majeure, which basically means they're saying, hey, you know, act of God, outside our

control, we can no longer be held in any contracts we previously signed as they all radically,

radically scale down their oil and gas production.

And their proxies, Hezbollah, the Houthis and Hamas, either broken, ineffective, or on the sidelines.

Iran stands alone, and they are badly losing. On day 10 of Operation

Epic Fury, we are winning with an overwhelming and unrelenting focus on our objectives,

which are the same as the day I gave my first briefing here on Operation Epic Fury.
