President Donald Trump said Friday that Americans should be prepared for the fighting with Iran to continue, predicting Tehran would eventually "peter out" as U.S. strikes steadily weaken its ability to retaliate.
Asked whether the back-and-forth attacks could continue until Iran was no longer capable of striking back, Trump said, "Yeah, sure, I think so.
But they’ll get weaker, and then they peter out," Trump said during a Cabinet meeting at Camp David, Maryland.
