March 10 (UPI) -- U.S. President Donald Trump said the war with Iran was way "ahead of schedule" and that he expected it to end "very soon."

The president told CBS News on Monday evening that the war was "very far ahead" of the 4-5 week schedule originally anticipated for the operation and that Iran now had no navy, no communications, no air force and its stocks of ballistic missiles were down to a "scatter."

"Their drones are being blown up all over the place, including their manufacturing of drones. If you look, they have nothing left. There's nothing left in a military sense," Trump said.

Trump warned Tehran over threats it has made to attack any vessels, commercial or military, attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz, saying the United States was ascendant.
