Donald Trump rated the US “15 out of 10” for the war in Iran during remarks at a White House roundtable on Wednesday (4 March).
“We're doing very well on, uh, on the war front, to put it mildly,” the US president said, adding that "tremendous progress" was being made in Operation Epic Fury against Iran.
Boasting of the American military's performance, he said, “Somebody said, on a scale of 10, where would you rate it? I said, about a 15.”
Joint US-Israeli attacks have killed more than 1,000 people in Iran, while Iranian strikes on American military installations in the Gulf caused the deaths of at least six US soldiers.
