Trump says U.S. surveillance is so close Iranians "can't go to the bathroom without us seeing it"

A Wall Street Journal report says Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has extended U.S. military deployments in the Middle East into 2027, signaling an open-ended American commitment in the conflict with Iran. President Trump responded Wednesday by asserting that the U.S. can launch further strikes whenever it chooses and described detecting and destroying an Iranian target through pervasive surveillance, saying American forces can observe Iranian activity almost completely. The expanded mission has left roughly 50,000 U.S. personnel, 19 warships, and air-defense units under growing strain, while the administration also tightens economic pressure on Tehran to force negotiations over its nuclear program. The situation matters because a longer deployment raises sustainability concerns and presents Trump with widening military and economic options.
