Why it matters
The comments signal an aggressive U.S. foreign policy stance in the Middle East and provide insight into the current administration's military and diplomatic strategy regarding Iran.
U.S. President Donald Trump said that the confrontation with Iran is “going well” and claimed that American forces are “hitting them very hard.” He said that “eventually” Iran will have no choice but to “come home” — a phrase he used to indicate surrender. Amid the tensions, Trump is holding a Cabinet meeting today (Friday) at Camp David. “It’s going well. Everything we can do is keep winning,” Trump told Fox News. “But we are hitting them hard, shaking them up, and we’re just continuing to win.” Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland, will host a Cabinet meeting for the first time during Trump’s second term.
