Trump Says US War With Iran Is Basically Over, but Claims Victory Have Repeatedly Shifted

President Donald Trump said on Monday that the US war with Iran is effectively over. The comment came after he spoke with Qatar’s prime minister.

“Iran, militarily, is basically over. We are simply sticking to the status quo,” Trump said at a press conference on Monday.

Earlier on Monday, Trump spoke with Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin al-Thani. In a post on Truth Social, the president wrote that they discussed Iran and that the United States was “armed and ready” but that it currently “seems quite unlikely” that force would be needed.

Instead, he believes there is “positive momentum” toward ending the conflict.

Since the United States and Israel began their war against Iran in late February, Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed that the war has been won or is almost over.
