President Donald Trump says he believes the war in Iran “militarily is effectively over.” He's suggesting that — at least for now — he’s not prepared to resume the bombardment that has devastated the Islamic Republic and caused reverberations across the global economy. The president made a surprise visit to the White House briefing room after meeting with Qatar’s prime minister earlier Monday. “Iran militarily is effectively over,” Trump said. “We’re just keeping it the status quo.” Trump added that Iran has been “decapitated” but said he is still looking to make sure there’s a long-term solution to ensuring that Iran’s nuclear program is defanged.
