But he said he isn&#8217;t pulling American forces out of the effort yet.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At some point I will, not quite yet. But countries have to come in and take care of it. Iran has been decimated, but they&#8217;re going to have to come in and do their own work,&#8221; Mr. Trump said.<\/p>\n<p>The president also reiterated his claim that, despite ongoing Iranian strikes on ships and Persian Gulf nations&#8217; infrastructure, &#8220;there&#8217;s no real threat&#8221; in the Strait of Hormuz, a <span class=\"link\">key transit route<\/span> for 20% of the <span class=\"link\">world&#8217;s oil supplies<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ll be there, but if they&#8217;re having a hard time getting oil, let them come and take it like they&#8217;re supposed to. Let them come up and take it. They didn&#8217;t want to give a hand to anybody. NATO is terrible, and they&#8217;re all terrible. So if they want oil, come up and grab it. There&#8217;s no real threat, there&#8217;s no substantial threat because the country [Iran] has been decimated,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Let them come up and take it. It&#8217;s about time they did something for themselves.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"link\">Gas prices<\/span> have continued to rise as the war has progressed. The national average for a gallon officially <span class=\"link\">surpassed $4<\/span> Tuesday for the first time in more than 3 years, according to AAA. Asked about this milestone, Mr. Trump said that the prices would drop &#8220;when we leave&#8221; after the war is over.<\/p>\n<p>White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt also told CBS News in a statement, &#8220;When Operation Epic Fury is complete, gas prices will plummet back to the multi-year lows American drivers enjoyed before these short-term disruptions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Asked when the U.S. military operation may wind down, Mr. Trump did not give an end point but said, &#8220;It won&#8217;t be long,&#8221; adding, &#8220;I would say we are two weeks ahead of schedule.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When the war started, Mr. Trump said it would last &#8220;4 to 6 weeks,&#8221; but this is already week 5.<\/p>\n<p>He said Iran has &#8220;no military might anymore. They are down on everything they had. They&#8217;re a mess.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve done our job,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;It&#8217;ll take them 10 years to rebuild. We&#8217;ve had total regime change. These are different people than anyone has ever heard of before, and frankly they&#8217;ve been more reasonable. So, we&#8217;ve had total regime change beyond what anyone thought possible. It&#8217;s a big factor.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One of the president&#8217;s original objectives was to guarantee that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon. But in the call, Mr. Trump declined to specify if it would be possible to declare victory without removing Iran&#8217;s <span class=\"link\">enriched uranium stockpile<\/span> \u2014 something military experts say would be <span class=\"link\">incredibly challenging and risky<\/span> to attempt.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t I even think about it. I just know that, you know, that&#8217;s so deeply buried it&#8217;s gonna be very hard for anybody,&#8221; he said. Referring to last June&#8217;s U.S.-Israeli bombing of Iran&#8217;s nuclear facilities, he said, &#8220;Finally people admit it was obliteration. It&#8217;s down there deep. And they haven&#8217;t been able to do it. You know, even without a war they haven&#8217;t been able to do it. So\u2026 it&#8217;s pretty safe. But, you know, we&#8217;ll make a determination.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<p class=\"content__meta--contributors\">\n<p>                                  Sara  Cook<\/p>\n<p>        contributed to this report.\n    <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"chartbeat\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation  component--type-recirculation-collection\">\n<div class=\"component__item-recirc-block\">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">Go deeper with The Free Press<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<section class=\"content__tags\">\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
