US President Donald Trump, in a self-congratulatory statement, claimed that the United States is "winning the US-Iran by a lot." Asserting that the American military operations have severely weakened Tehran's capabilities as he further accused some of the US media of misrepresenting the situation and misleading the people into believing that the US is losing. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the conflict has "destroyed Iran's naval and air power, the collapse of its defensive systems, and significant economic losses due to an ongoing blockade."
"I'm winning a War, BY A LOT, things are going very well, our Military has been amazing and, if you read the Fake News, like The Failing New York Times, the absolutely horrendous and disgusting Wall Street Journal, or the now almost defunct, fortunately, Washington Post, you would actually think we are losing the War," Trump wrote.
Trump further claimed that Iranian forces are in disarray, alleging that their Navy has been "completely wiped out" and their Air Force has retreated, while key leadership figures are no longer in place. He described the situation as amounting to "Regime Change" in addition to military success.
He wrote, "The enemy is confused, because they get these same Media 'reports,' and yet they realize their Navy has been completely wiped out, their Air Force has gone onto darker runways, they have no Anti Missile or Anti Airplane Equipment, their former leaders are mostly gone (This has been, in addition to everything else, Regime Change!), and perhaps, most important of all."
Highlighting economic pressure, Trump said a US-imposed blockade on Iran is causing massive financial losses. "THE BLOCKADE, which we will not take off until there is a 'DEAL,' is absolutely destroying Iran. They are losing $500 Million Dollars a day, an unsustainable number, even in the short run," he stated.
Trump also launched attack at the American media outlets stating they are undermining US efforts, claiming their reporting has created confusion for both domestic audiences and adversaries. "The Anti-America Fake News Media is rooting for Iran to win, but it's not going to happen, because I'm in charge! Just like these unpatriotic people used every ounce of their limited strength to fight me in the Election, they continue to do so with Iran. The result will be the same — It already is!" he wrote.
