Retired general: Trump would be 'smart' to 'declare victory' in Iran and 'go home'

Retired Army Brig. Gen. Steve Anderson said Wednesday that President Trump would be “smart” to “declare victory” in the conflict against Iran and “go home.”

“Well, this war will end whenever Donald Trump says it’s going to end, whenever he decides to declare victory. And if he was smart, he’d declare victory today and go home, because this is not going well. We have a more radicalized regime in place now,” Anderson told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on “The Situation Room.”

“The [Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps] does not seem to be impacted at all. In fact, they’ve become perhaps even stronger. Sure, they’ve lost a lot of military facilities, they’ve lost a lot of assets, but there’s nothing that they can’t reconstitute quickly,” he added.

On Tuesday, officials from the Pentagon told lawmakers during a briefing that the approximate cost of war against Iran was more than $11.3 billion in the fighting’s first six days, a source told The Hill.
