US President Donald Trump claimed that the attacks launched by the United States on Iran would be recorded in history as one of the best decisions made by his administration, during remarks he made to journalists on Sunday evening in West Palm Beach, Florida, before returning to the White House after spending the weekend in the state.
Trump added that the victory in the war against Iran could be described as a historic achievement, stressing that Iran possessing nuclear weapons would pose a global threat, and describing the Iranian leadership as madmen. He pointed out that the United States had not lost any soldiers during the attacks, speaking about the Vietnam War which lasted for many years and in which the United States suffered thousands of casualties.
For his part, Trump clarified that the American plan does not consist of the attack alone, but also includes reconstruction, warning that destroying bridges and power plants would take a long time to repair, and affirming that he has the ability to bomb now but prefers a different approach. He continued by saying that the question at hand is whether the United States will end this matter now or later, noting that some of Iran's neighbors prefer the status quo to remain.
Mediation efforts led by Qatar and Pakistan continue between the United States and Iran to revive negotiations aimed at ending the war and addressing differences regarding Iran's nuclear program, sanctions, and navigation security in the Strait of Hormuz. It is recalled that the United States and Israel began a war on Iran on February 28, 2026, before reaching a ceasefire in April, and that confrontations between Washington and Tehran resumed in July amid stalled diplomatic efforts.
