Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Rylan Barton.

President Trump held a news conference in Miami today as the U.S. Israel-led war with Iran enters its second week and gas prices continue to soar.

Trump says the U.S. is achieving major strides towards completing its military objective.

NPR's Sage Miller has more.

Trump says the U.S. has begun targeting Iran's drone manufacturing facilities.

We know all of the places they manufacture the drones and they're being hit one after another.

Trump also says the U.S. is attacking the facilities where Iranian missiles are made and delivered.

But he says some of the biggest targets, like electricity production,

remain. Oil prices surged after the war prompted the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, effectively

choking off a key route. Trump had this warning for Iran if they tried to stop the global oil

supply chain. We'll take them out so quickly. They'll never be able to recover,

ever. Trump says the U.S. is ahead of its initial timeline, but he didn't say when the war would likely

end. Sage Miller, NPR News. The State Department says it has offered advice to 23,000 Americans

to help them leave countries that have been targeted with

Iranian missiles and drones as the U.S. and Israel bomb Iran. NPR's Michelle Kellerman reports that

most Americans are finding commercial routes out. The State Department has been running a 24-7

hotline to give Americans advice on how to leave. There have been more than two dozen evacuation

charters, but the agency says most Americans have declined assistance when offered. It says most

U.S. citizens are either booking their own commercial options or staying in the region. Embassies

across the Middle East are closed to the public, providing only emergency services for Americans.

The U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia, which was hit by two Iranian drones last week,

was the latest to go on what's called ordered departure when non-essential personnel and family members have to leave.
