Iran says the world has accepted it has defeated the US, and other Middle East developments
Iran’s president says the world has accepted that it’s won the war with the United States and remarks by the U.S. Ambassador to Turkey and special envoy for Syria appear to contradict official U.S. position over the…
Iran's president, Masoud Pezeshkian, asserted on Friday that the global community has acknowledged Iran's victory in the ongoing war with the United States. According to Iran's state news agency, IRNA, Pezeshkian stated that "the entire world approved our victory and the U.S. is hated." This comes amid reports that the Trump administration is escalating a financial campaign against Iran, dubbed an "economic D-Day," with the aim of forcing the Iranian leadership to abandon its nuclear program and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
Meanwhile, Tom Barrack, the U.S. Ambassador to Turkey and special envoy for Syria, appeared to contradict the official stance of the United States regarding the Golan Heights. In an interview with Lebanese-Australian entrepreneur Mario Nawfal, Barrack stated that Israel "still" occupies the territory in violation of U.N. resolutions.
Israel's annexation of the Golan Heights, captured from Syria in the 1967 war, has been widely condemned by the international community, including the U.N., which considers the territory occupied Syrian land and calls for Israel's withdrawal to the pre-1967 borders. Despite this, the U.S. recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan in 2019, a move that did not alter the land's status under international law.
