1:18Now PlayingWhite House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday that the U.S. war against Iran will end when military objectives have been met and the Islamic regime is in a position of "unconditional surrender."
"Ultimately, the operation will end when the commander in chief determines the military objectives have been met, fully realized, and that Iran is in a position of complete and unconditional surrender, whether they say it or not," she told reporters.
Ms. Leavitt said President Trump — not Iran — will determine whether the country is in "unconditional surrender," something few analysts expect Iran to accede to any time soon.
"When President Trump says that Iran is in a place of unconditional surrender, he's not claiming the Iranian regime is going to come out and say that themselves. What the president means is that Iran's threats will no longer be backed by a ballistic missile arsenal that protects them from building a nuclear bomb in their country," she said.
