The United States has already delivered a decisive blow to Iran's military and leadership, but the conflict cannot end until Tehran is permanently blocked from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

Axar.az informs this was stated by US President Donald Trump on Thursday in an extensive interview with Newsmax's Greta Van Susteren.

"We've already won, but I want to win by a bigger margin," Trump said. "We have destroyed their navy, destroyed their air force, destroyed all of their — if you look at their anti-aircraft equipment, their radar equipment, their leadership. Their leadership is destroyed. We've destroyed everything."

Trump said he believes Iran would use a nuclear weapon if it acquired one.

"I will tell you that Iran would use the nuclear weapon if they had it," he said. "I deal with these people. I know people. They will use their nuclear weapon, and we're not going to give them a chance to do it."

Trump again lashed out the North Atlantic Alliance for not helping Washington in its military operation against the Islamic Republic.

"We were not helped by NATO at all," he said.
