The White House believes that Trump holds all the cards in the conflict with Iran

The United States has the advantage in the conflict with Iran and seeks to permanently strip it of its nuclear ambitions.

This was stated by White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly.

"It is now clearer than ever that President [US Donald] Trump holds all the cards, while his national security team is working to permanently end Iran's nuclear ambitions," she told CNN.

Kelly also stated that the US is "growing stronger as a result of the enormous success of Operation Epic Fury, [while] Iran is getting weaker by the day."
