Scott Jennings: Expect The President To Announce We’ve Won The War With Iran
CNN commentator Scott Jennings said Thursday that President Trump should declare victory in the war with Iran and end the conflict:
SCOTT JENNINGS, CNN SENIOR POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: Well, I disagree. I think we’ve won the war. I’m just waiting for the president to go before the American people and formally announce it. I mean, we’ve sunk their navy. We’ve destroyed their military. We’ve decimated their defense industrial complex. They have no way to produce a nuclear weapon tonight. And it’s been confirmed over the last few days that we’ve cleared all the mines out of the Strait of Hormuz. Not a single barrel of oil has been exported by Iran since we reinstituted the naval blockade in July, and at the same time, the U.S. Navy has assisted in shipping out of the Gulf 750 million barrels of oil. By any meaningful metric, we have won this war. The president needs to tell the American people that we’ve won the war and all the ways that we’ve won the war, and I assume we’re going to have to leave some surveillance over there, and that’s the truth. And I think that’s what we’re going to hear from him pretty soon.
