In a combative exchange with journalists in the Oval Office, US President Donald Trump said the US had “hit about 75 percent of targets” in Iran.
When pressed on his earlier claim that the war would last four to six weeks, Trump said, “I also took a little break.” He also ruled out the use of nuclear weapons.
