I spoke with President Trump briefly this morning, BEFORE the announcement about US casualties - so he did not comment on that. But some notes:
He says the US knows how many targets are left -- and re: progress toward Iranian people taking control of their destiny:
“It’s moving along. It's moving along rapidly. This has been this way for 47 years," he said. "It's moving along rapidly. Nobody can believe the success we're having, 48 leaders are gone in one shot. And it's moving along rapidly.”
On concern about oil prices / impacts to Strait of Hormuz:
POTUS: “I'm not concerned about anything, Jacqui. I just do what's right. At the end, it works out.”
* he cited good outcomes from Venezuela, operations, attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities with B2 bombers:
POTUS: “If we didn't do that, they would have had a nuclear weapon within two weeks. And then all of this would not have been possible.”
