Trump calls Strait of Hormuz 'something that we don't need'

New Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei was injured during the opening U.S.-Israeli strikes at the beginning of the war, Israeli sources told ABC News.

One Israeli source familiar with the matter said that his injuries include a fractured foot, bruising around his left eye and lacerations to his face. A second Israeli source said that Mojtaba was wounded with a leg injury and light facial injuries.

Khamenei's condition has been referenced on state television and the state news agency IRNA, which called him the "wounded war veteran" supreme leader.

President Donald Trump said the U.S. has "won" the war in Iran but has to "finish the job," during remarks in Kentucky on Wednesday.

"We've won. Let me tell you, we've won. You know, you never like to say too early you won. We won," Trump said. "In the first hour it was over. But we won."

After the president declared victory, he noted that the U.S. has to finish the job, saying that America cannot "leave early."

"We gotta finish the job, right?" Trump said.

The ongoing fire between Israel and Hezbollah ramped up significantly Wednesday night.

Hezbollah announced a new operation, notably called al-Asf al-Makool, named in reference to a verse in the Quran that talks about an enemy army defeated by divine intervention.

Dozens of Hezbollah rockets were subsequently fired south, and Israel is responding with its most intense bombardment of the Beirut suburb of Dahyeh since those strikes started nearly a week ago, according to the IDF.

The Israel Defense Forces also issued a new evacuation order from the Israeli military for Dahyeh and ramped up airstrikes across the south in Lebanon.

The State Department said it would begin scaling down charter flight and ground transport options to help regular American citizens leave the Middle East due to dwindling demand.

Consular officers have reached nearly 9,000 Americans in the UAE about charter flights, but flights departing the country on Wednesday still left with some empty seats, Assistant Secretary for Global Public Affairs Dylan Johnson said in a statement.

More than three dozen of these flights had been carried out, safely transporting thousands from the region, Johnson said.
