'War Against Iran Almost Complete,' Donald Trump Says, Reveals Talks With Putin

Washington: US President Donald Trump recently made a big claim in a press conference regarding the ongoing war against Iran. Trump says that this war is now reaching its final stage and the American army is advancing faster than expected. He said that if the situation continues like this, “complete victory” can be achieved in this campaign soon.

Is the war nearing its end?

In the press conference, Trump said that the joint action of America and Israel has caused great damage to Iran's military capability. According to him, Iran's navy and air force have become almost inactive and its communication system has also been seriously affected. Trump said that initially this campaign was expected to last for four to five weeks, but now the situation has changed so rapidly that the war may end earlier than expected.

Is America really close to victory?

Trump gave two types of indications regarding victory. On the one hand, he said that in many ways America has already taken the lead. On the other hand, he also added that the point that can be called “complete victory” has not yet been achieved. According to Trump, the war will continue until Iran completely accepts defeat. He said that America's strategy is to defeat the enemy completely and decisively.

Why is attack on Iran being considered necessary?

Trump again reiterated that Iran was working rapidly towards making nuclear weapons. They allege that Iran was increasing its power through the ballistic missile program and if timely action was not taken, it could become a major threat to the entire Middle East. Trump claimed that this military operation was necessary for the security of America and its allies.

What was Trump's reaction when Mojtaba Khamenei became Supreme Leader?

After the death of former Supreme Leader of Iran Ali Khamenei, his son Mojtaba Khamenei has been elected as the new Supreme Leader. Trump reacted strongly to this. He said that this decision can make the situation more complicated. According to Trump, Iran has made a big mistake with this step and it may further increase tension in the region.

Could Russia play a role in this conflict?

Trump said that he had a long conversation on the phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin. According to him, Putin has expressed his desire to help in this entire crisis. The current situation in the Middle East was discussed between the two leaders and Trump described the conversation as “good and useful”.

Are the attacks still continuing?

Iran has suffered heavy losses in the attacks launched by America and Israel from February 28. According to Trump, more than 46 Iranian ships have been destroyed so far. However, Iran is also retaliating and has targeted Israel and American bases in the Gulf region. This has increased tension in the entire region and is affecting about ten countries.

Due to the war, global markets are also being affected and a sharp rise in the prices of crude oil is being seen. Despite this, Trump says that this campaign was necessary for the security of America and its allies and now victory is not far away.
