President Donald Trump released footage of U.S. strikes on an Iranian ammunition depot near Isfahan, as the administration maintains a 'once-in-a-generation' diplomatic offer for the regime to abandon its nuclear ambitions.

President Trump's view of the war is reportedly informed by a daily diet of short-form bombing videos—and by rosy Fox News coverage. No wonder he thinks the war is won. Meanwhile, his Defense Secretary seems to view violence as its own end.

In a televised address, the president repeated familiar talking points and said the war is nearing completion.
