US President Donald Trump has said that the United States will declare “total victory” over Iran within the next two weeks, just hours after Iran and Israel agreed to halt the worst escalation in violence since a ceasefire took effect in April.
“We’ve been a very tough team, and I think we are winning that battle, but you’re really going to win it over the next two weeks when we declare total victory,” Trump said on Monday during a telerally for Sen. Lindsey Graham, a close Republican ally.
“It’ll be a total victory. It’ll happen very soon, and oil prices will come tumbling down.”
Earlier on Monday, Iran announced an end to its attacks on Israel but warned of a “crushing” response if Israeli military attacks in Lebanon continue.
The Iranian military said Israel and its allies “should have learned” lessons from Tehran’s response.
