Trump says 'we won' Iran war during Veterans Day service
US President Donald Trump placed a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier before making remarks at the Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery.
President Donald Trump addressed U.S. veterans, including military personnel, on Veterans Day to advocate for the war against Iran. This conflict, he argued, has contributed to the Democratic party gaining control of Congress in the recent midterm elections. Trump praised the bravery and proficiency of American forces engaged in the campaign.
He declared that the war would ultimately make the world a safer and more peaceful environment. The conflict, starting on February 28 with strikes from the U.S. and Israel against Iran, has resulted in the loss of 23 American service members and wounded hundreds more, according to the most recent Pentagon data. Trump contended that the war was instigated by Iran, which has been hostile towards America since 1979.
He emphasized that American forces were intervening to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. During his address at Arlington National Cemetery, Trump highlighted these points to the assembled troops, veterans, and dignitaries.
