US President Donald Trump has listed its main objectives in his first speech since launching a military operation in Iran.
"First, we're destroying Iran's missile capability, and you see this happening hourly, as well as their ability to produce brand new missiles - and pretty good ones. Second, we are destroying their navy, we've already disabled 10 ships, they're at the bottom of the Ma. Third, we guarantee that the world's chief sponsor of terrorism can never get nuclear weapons. And finally, we guarantee that the Iranian regime cannot continue to arm, fund and deploy terrorist armies beyond its borders," Trump said.
The president said the operation has no fixed timeline and that he believes the U.S. is ahead of schedule because the elimination of Iran's military leadership was expected to take four weeks.
"Timing is not important. Whatever it takes, we will act. From the beginning, we predicted [that the operation would last] four to five weeks, but we have the ability to act much longer," he warned.
