Speaking at the first Cabinet meeting since the Iran war began, President Donald Trump touted the strength of the U.S. military, saying "nobody is a match for the United States," and calling Iran "small potatoes." Trump also said anew he is "disappointed in NATO" for not working with the U.S. to secure the Strait of Hormuz and warned U.S. allies, "we're gonna remember." Addressing the Cabinet meeting after Trump, Vice President JD Vance asserted that the “conventional military” in Iran has been “effectively destroyed” during the war. Echoing Trump, Vance said Iran no longer has a navy and “they don’t have the ability to hit us like they could of even a few weeks ago.” “And what that does is that gives us options,” Vance said. He did not go into detail about those options. Secretary of State Marco Rubio followed, saying Trump launched the war with Iran as a favor "for the world." "Frankly, I think countries around the world, even those that are out there complaining bout this a little bit, should actually be grateful that the United States has a president who is willing to confront a threat like this," Rubio said.
