周六，唐纳德·特朗普总统在空军一号上对记者表示，此次大规模进攻超出预期，伊朗海军“现已沉入海底”。
“我们[消灭了他们的海军]——44艘舰船。我们消灭了他们的空军——所有飞机。我们摧毁了他们大部分导弹——你们看到他们的导弹不再来袭了，”特朗普说道。

他补充称，军事打击对导弹制造区域“造成重创”，该国无人机能力“大幅下降”。

总统称，他正在寻求伊朗的“无条件投降”，解释称这意味着“他们喊‘认输’，或者当他们再也无法战斗时”。
“或者他们身边没有人可以喊‘认输’，因为我们已经多次消灭了他们的领导层，”他继续说道，“要么他们投降，要么他们身边无人可投降，但在军事[能力]方面他们已形同废物。”
谈及该政权据称实施的暴行，特朗普称这场战争“酝酿了47年，此前没有一位总统有胆量采取行动”。

“他们是地球上有史以来最邪恶的人，”他表示，“他们砍断婴儿的头颅，将妇女劈成两半。看看10月7日，看看他们过去47年的所作所为……当这一切结束时，我们将拥有一个更安全的世界。”

“它们会迅速回落，而我们将除掉地球上的一个重大、重大毒瘤，”总统称，“我们将根除这个毒瘤……我们正在做的事情是一件伟大的事，不仅为了我们的国家，[不仅为了以色列]，不仅为了中东，也为了全世界。”
目前尚不清楚是否会派遣地面部队保护伊朗核设施中被联军瞄准的浓缩铀，但总统称此次攻击是“彻底摧毁”。
“他们还无法触及它，也许在某个时候我们会[采取行动]，”他表示，“这将是一件大好事，但目前我们只是在摧毁他们。我们还没有对其下手，但[这是]我们日后可能采取的行动。”

“当这一切结束时，我们将拥有一个更安全的世界，你们知道，所以这只是一次小插曲，”他说道，“我们将除掉许多病态和疯狂的人，包括领导层。我们已经清除了一个领导层，清除了第二层级领导层。现在他们处于第三或第四层级，而他们的现任领导人甚至没人知道是谁。”
President Donald Trump on Saturday said that U.S. and Israeli forces have “wiped out” Iran’s navy, air force and much of its missile capability in just one week of war, declaring the regime’s military “almost non-existent” as he continues to press Tehran to surrender for “a much safer world.”
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, the president said the sweeping offensive has exceeded expectations, noting Iran’s navy “is now at the bottom of the sea.”
“We’ve [wiped out their Navy] — 44 ships. We’ve wiped out their air force — every plane. We’ve wiped out most of their missiles — you see their missiles aren’t coming much anymore,” Trump said.

He added military strikes have hit missile manufacturing areas “very hard,” and the country’s drone capacity is “way down.”

The president said he is seeking an “[unconditional surrender]” from Iran, explaining the term means “they cry uncle, or when they can’t fight any longer.”
“Or there’s nobody around to cry uncle to, because we wiped out their leadership numerous times already,” he continued. “It’s if they surrender, or if there is nobody around to surrender, but they’re rendered useless in terms of military [capabilities].”
Discussing atrocities allegedly carried out by the regime, Trump said the war was 47 years coming and “no president had the guts to do it.”

“They are about the most evil people ever on Earth,” he said. “They cut babies’ heads off. They chop women in half. Take a look at October 7th, take a look at what they’ve done over the last 47 years. … When this ends, we’re going to have a much safer world.”

Despite concerns about rising gas prices on the home front, Trump said he is not worried.

“They’ll come down very fast, and we will have gotten rid of a major, major cancer on the face of the earth,” the president said. “We’ll have taken out a cancer. … What we’re doing is a great thing, not only for our country, [not only for Israel], not only for the Middle East, but for the world.”
It is unclear if ground troops will be sent to secure the enriched uranium at Iranian nuclear sites targeted by joint forces, though the president described the attacks as “a total obliteration.”
“They haven’t been able to get to it, and at some point, maybe we will,” he said. “It would be a great thing, but right now, we’re just decimating them. We haven’t gone after it, but [it’s] something we could do later.”

Trump concluded by calling the war “a minor excursion” that in the end will make the world a safer place.

“When this ends, we’re going to have a much safer world, you know, so, you know, this is a minor excursion,” he said. “And we will have gotten rid of a lot of sick and demented people, the leadership. So we got rid of one leadership. We got rid of the second level of leadership. Now they’re on that third or fourth level of leadership. And they have leaders right now that nobody even knows who they are.”
