Donald Trump on ending the war in Iran. "It will be a total victory"
During a Veterans Day speech at Arlington Cemetery, Trump discussed conflicts initiated during his presidency, particularly the war with Iran, claiming it has been ongoing since 1979. He emphasized the need for complete victory and expressed hope that Iran would not need to be destroyed further. Trump also mentioned the operation against Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, stating that profits from Venezuelan oil have covered military operation costs. He criticized past U.S. wars, suggesting little was gained from them. Vice President J.D. Vance linked the Iran war to Republican losses in the midterm elections. The speech preceded a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, honoring all U.S. military veterans.
