Trump says renewed US campaign against Iran won't last long

WASHINGTON, Sept ‌2 (Reuters) - President ​Donald ​Trump said on Wednesday that the renewed ‌U.S. campaign against Iran would not ⁠continue for "too long" after the ‌biggest exchange of fire ‌between Tehran and Washington since July.

Trump told reporters in the ​Oval Office that Iran was trying to build ⁠a rocket that drops mines and the U.S. ​had destroyed it. He also said Iran had been ​working to restore ‌its radar and missile systems, which were also ⁠targeted in the U.S. strikes.

"We took out all of the new ⁠equipment that they tried to build ​along the Strait of Hormuz - some defensive, some offensive ... It was a ‌very heavy attack last night, and we're prepared ‌to do another one any ⁠time we ‌want," he ​said.
