Trump Says U.S. Has Easily Won War Against Iran, Predicts Conflict Will End Soon
In a statement reported by Jin10 Data on September 19, U.S. President Donald Trump asserted that the United States is 'easily winning' the war against Iran and claimed that Iran will not acquire nuclear weapons. Trump acknowledged that American citizens might face higher gasoline prices as a consequence of preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear capabilities, but argued that the public would strongly support avoiding Iranian nuclear acquisition over rising oil prices. He predicted the war will end soon, after which gasoline prices will fall back, possibly below pre-war levels. Trump also stated that if the U.S. had not deployed B-2 bombers to strike Iran, Iran 'might already possess nuclear weapons.' The report attributes these claims and forecasts to Trump, preserving their conditional and speculative nature.
