President Donald Trump has laid out five objectives for the U.S. in its war with Iran that he said the U.S. is close to achieving as he considers “winding down” the operationOne month into Iran war, some Trump objectives are unfulfilled as he looks to wind down the conflictWASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump has listed five objectives that the U.S. wants to achieve before ending its war with Iran. By most accounts, the strikes by the U.S. and Israel have significantly degraded Iran's military capabilities and killed scores of senior leaders. Trump and the White House have insisted the operation is going well and on track to meet its goals. But Iran is still launching missiles and drones, including a series of barrages at Israel as Trump claimed that negotiations with Iran were underway. The U.S. and Israel quickly established air superiority in the skies above Iran, where they have flown largely unchallenged.
