The Trump administration believes the deadly, 12-day conflict between Israel and Iran is over and will not restart, President Donald Trump said Wednesday.
"We think it's over, I don't think they're going to be going back at each other," Trump said at a news conference closing out a NATO Summit in The Netherlands.
Trump spent his final day at NATO disputing leaked intelligence that assessed that U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities set the country back by months, not years, as he and other members of his administration have been claiming.
The president said U.S. "dealt decisively" with Iran's nuclear program. "But we've also reasserted the credibility of American deterrance," he said.
"It was devastating. They obliterated," Trump said in later remarks. "You can't get into the tunnels."
He added, "And I think all of the nuclear stuff is down there. It's very hard to move."
