Trump Shares Article: Claims Victory in Iran War, Lists Eight Major Achievements
Odaily News U.S. President Donald Trump recently shared an opinion piece by American conservative commentator Christopher Ruddy on social media. The author states in the article that Trump has already won this war, and won decisively. The article provides eight reasons for this "victory":① Achieved the goal of preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons and dismantling its nuclear program.② Undermined Iran's status as a regional military power.③ Facilitated the emergence of a de facto new Arab-Israeli alliance, as key Gulf states recognize their future is closely tied to Washington and Jerusalem.④ Weakened the network of Iranian proxies that have destabilized the region for years.⑤ Forced NATO member states to reflect and thereby strengthened NATO.⑥ Russia's position has also been weakened. Although Moscow has benefited in the short term from sanctions relief and high oil prices, these gains are only temporary.⑦ Stabilizing the Gulf region and reopening energy flows will ultimately benefit global markets and the world economy.⑧ The Iran conflict may make the United States stronger and better prepared for future wars.
