Trump says war in Iran is going 'swimmingly' and 'should be ending pretty soon'

President Donald Trump on Thursday said that "the war in Iran is going along swimmingly."

"It should be ending pretty soon," Trump said at an event in Las Vegas, echoing similarly rosy predictions about the end of the war that he has made since it began on Feb. 28.

"It was perfect. It's perfect. It was the power we have," the president said. "We had the most powerful military anywhere in the world."
