President Donald Trump has stated that the U.S. military operation against Iran, which has been in the works for only 10 days, is close to being complete, according to comments made during a phone interview with a reporter. The president also warned the Iranian regime not to try anything "cute" or risk being "the end of that country". The comments sparked a surge in oil prices and a drop in the stock market. A Russian official also revealed that Russian President Vladimir Putin had shared proposals to end the war with Iran in a phone call with Trump.
