AI Summary
5 min readLive from NPR News in Washington, I'm Dave Mattingley. President Trump is offering another upbeat assessment of the U.S. and Israeli airstrikes against Iran, saying they're far ahead of the initial timeline. "We know all of the places they manufacture the drones and they're being hit one after another." Trump also says the US is attacking the facilities where Iranian missiles are made and delivered, but he says some of the biggest targets, like electricity production, remain.

Trump says the US is ahead of its initial timeline, but he didn't say when the war would likely end. Sage Miller, NPR News.
