For starters, the nukes are no longer a threat, although there are some questions about uranium. But I am sure that will be found and taken or destroyed.
Soon, Trump will control the Straight of Hormuz to make sure oil prices start coming back. The Iranian forces are no more, but a few remain, and they are a threat. They shoot their own people at the drop of a hat in the name of Allah. This regime is hated by all Arab countries because peace is wanted, not the terrorism of the Shia Islamic Extremist Iran. I may be an optimist, but I see a thriving Middle East in the future. All IMO.

“I think the war is very complete, pretty much. They have no navy, no communications, they’ve got no Air Force,” Jiang wrote on X, quoting the president after the call.
Trump told her that Operation Epic Fury is “very far” ahead of the four-to-five-week window initially estimated. When Jiang asked Trump if he had a message for Iran’s Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, who is the son of late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, he said he did not, but noted he has someone in mind to replace him.
“I have no message for him. None whatsoever,” Trump told Jiang.
Thirdly, Trump and Jiang spoke on record about the Strait of Hormuz, which connects the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman and through which about 20 percent of the world’s oil flows.
“As for the Straight of Hormuz, Trump noted that ships are moving through now, but he is ‘thinking about taking it over,’” Jiang reported. “Trump warned Iran, ‘They’ve shot everything they have to shoot, and they better not try anything cute or it’s going to be the end of that country.’”
