The US still has thousands of targets left to strike in Iran, according to President Trump.
Speaking at the Future Investment Initiative Priority Summit in Florida on Friday, President Trump said more than 3,500 targets remain.
“Now we’re just going after targets. Again, they have no anti-aircraft, so we’re just floating over the top looking for whatever we want, and we’re hitting it,” Trump said.
“We have another 3,554 targets left, and that’ll be done pretty quickly. And then, you know, at some point, we’re going to have to determine what we do. But they have never seen anything like it.”
President Trump also said that Iran had fired over a hundred missiles at a US aircraft carrier, and every single one had been intercepted.
Talks are ongoing over reopening the Strait of Hormuz, President Trump said, but he emphasized the need for Iran to take the lead.
“We’re negotiating now, and it would be great if we could do something. But they have to open it up,” the President said.
After his initial threat to strike Iran’s energy infrastructure within 48 hours if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened, President Trump extended the deadline by five days and then by a further ten, apparently at the request of the Iranian regime.
The current deadline is now 6 April.
Iran has consistently downplayed claims negotiations are taking place, and state media has reported peace proposals have been decisively rebuffed.
At the G7 meeting in France on Friday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio told European leaders the war with Iran will last a further two-to-four weeks.
According to Axios and unnamed sources, “This is the first time a senior U.S. official suggested the war would continue beyond the four to six-week timeframe President Trump has discussed since the war started.”
Early pm Saturday, Yemen’s Houthi rebels attacked Israel, in the first such incident since the beginning of Operation Epic Fury against Iran.
Israel’s military said they intercepted the missile early on Saturday morning.
The strike, which the Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for, raises the possibility that the Iranian-backed rebel group will target commercial shipping in the Red Sea.
Thus far, the Houthis, who have held Yemen’s capital Sanaa for more than a decade, have stayed out of the war with Iran, mainly to preserve their truce with Saudi Arabia, which launched a war against them on behalf of Yemen’s government-in-exile, in 2015.
The Houthis attacked shipping in the Red Sea during the recent Israel-Hamas war, and also fired drones at Israel.
They attacked around 100 merchant vessels with missiles and drones, sinking two and killing four sailors, between November 2023 and January 2025.
