U.S. President Donald Trump has claimed that the United States has won the ongoing war with Iran. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump stated that the U.S. is now engaged in direct talks with Iran. He said Iran has agreed to the main American demand of never possessing nuclear weapons. Trump added that discussions are still continuing and expressed hope that the conflict would soon end, though he could not confirm it with certainty.

Trump further asserted that the U.S. objective of bringing about a change in Iran’s governing system has been achieved. According to him, even third-tier leaders in Iran have been removed from power, and the top leadership is no longer in control. He reiterated that the U.S. goals have been met and declared, “We have won this war.” The report cited Al Jazeera as its source.

The statements suggest that Washington and Tehran are in a phase of negotiation following a period of conflict, with the U.S. claiming strategic success and Iran reportedly seeking a deal.
