Donald Trump Says U.S. Winning War Against Iran

Donald Trump asserted that the United States is winning its war against Iran and stated the conflict will continue "as long as necessary" to achieve its objectives. While the president acknowledged that the Strait of Hormuz is now open, he warned that military action may not be over.

Trump claimed that Iran is in "deep trouble" with limited military capacity and is unable to pay its troops due to economic and military pressure. He ruled out immediate diplomatic negotiations with Tehran, stating that Washington is not currently looking to meet.

Regarding international involvement, Trump noted that the Federal Government of Russia has behaved "quite well" so far concerning the strategic waterway, though he provided no specific details on Moscow's actions.
