WASHINGTON:US President Donald Trump has told G7 leaders that Iran is “about to surrender,” claiming success in Operation Epic Fury, a media report said on Friday.

Trump made the claim on Wednesday during a virtual meeting of the G7 leaders amid growing concerns about the economic fallout of the war with Iran, Axios reported.

“I got rid of a cancer that was threatening us all,” Trump told the leaders, who urged the US President to end the war quickly.
