Trump Says US Is Going to Go Further on Iran and Alludes to End of War - as It Happened
President Trump said the conflict with Iran could escalate further and warned of severe retaliation if Iran strikes again, while oil prices are expected to drop after the war ends.
- On Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump said the war with Iran is expected to be over 'very soon' but not this week, speaking aboard Air Force One on March 7, 2026.
- The escalation began after U.S. and Israeli air strikes on February 28, DAILY POST reported, killing Iran's Supreme Leader and prompting Iran to select Mojtaba Khamenei, known for ties to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
- He signalled a readiness to expand operations, saying 'we're going to go further' and warned Iran if it 'starts again' it will be hit harder while arguing oil prices would drop post-war as the U.S. faces less impact from Strait of Hormuz disruptions than China.
- The conflict has already produced immediate costs, with several Iranian people killed and infrastructural facilities in Iran destroyed, while the United States has confirmed deaths of its military officers.
- Earlier he had said the operation could last four to five weeks and that forces were 'way ahead of schedule', calling it 'the beginning of building a new country' while noting Iran has no navy or air force.
