US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that Iran has been waging war against America since 1979, and Washington needs to secure a "total victory".

“This should have been taken care of a long time ago,” Trump said in remarks delivered at a Veterans Day event in Arlington, Virginia.

“We want to make sure we have a total victory. Not a 93 percent victory. It’s going to be total. It’ll take them 25 years to rebuild what we have destroyed, and hopefully, we won’t have to destroy any more of that country.”
