US President Donald Trump described Iran as a tough, smart country while asserting that its military capacity had been severely reduced.
Trump said the war in Iran is going swimmingly and that it should be ending pretty soon while speaking at an event in Las Vegas, Navada.
He hinted that the next meeting between the US and Iran may take place over the weekend, adding to optimism that the Iran war could be nearing an end.
Trump also said Iran had offered not to possess nuclear weapons for more than 20 years.
A 10-day ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel went into effect on Thursday after last week's strikes on Lebanon caused massive loss of lives and widespread destruction.
The attacks also threatened the fragile truce between Iran and the US as Iran termed the strikes as ceasefire violation.
