Trump Claims Iran Victory Amid Israeli Government Shift

President Donald Trump claimed the United States achieved a military victory in Iran, asserting that U.S. strikes involving B-2 bombers destroyed the country's nuclear capabilities. He stated, "We won in Iran," and argued that without such actions, there would be no Israel or Middle East.

In Israel, Trump commented on the political transition following the October 27 elections, which left Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu without a parliamentary majority. President Isaac Herzog tasked Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yashar party, with forming the next government. Trump noted that Eisenkot and Netanyahu hold "very similar" policies and positions, describing both leaders as supportive of his administration.

Domestically, Trump is managing a shift in power after Republicans lost control of both houses of Congress in the midterm elections. In response to the defeat, Trump replaced Chief of Staff Susie Wiles with adviser Stephen Miller.
