Trump Seeks ‘Complete Victory’ Over Iran, Hints at End of Conflict

Washington, November 12 (Daily Kiran) : President Donald Trump expressed optimism on Wednesday about the potential conclusion of the ongoing conflict with Iran, insisting that the United States will not settle for anything less than a “complete victory.” Speaking at a Veterans Day event at Arlington National Cemetery, he emphasized that the U.S. military has already achieved significant success.

Trump did not provide a specific timeline for the end of hostilities but stated that the decision would be made by the U.S. He remarked, “We want to ensure that we achieve not 93 percent, but a full victory. It will be a complete victory.”

While he expressed hope for a swift resolution, Trump’s comments also made it clear that the U.S. would not withdraw until its military objectives are fully met. He thanked American troops involved in operations aimed at preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, claiming that U.S. attacks have inflicted such damage on Iran that it would take decades for the country to rebuild.

He stated, “What we have destroyed will take Iran 25 years to rebuild. Hopefully, we won’t have to destroy more of that country.” However, he did not provide any evidence or assessment to support his claim regarding the reconstruction timeline.

Trump’s address did not announce any potential agreements or new timelines for the withdrawal of U.S. forces. Defending the military campaign, he stressed the necessity of responding to decades of hostility from Iran and criticized previous administrations for not taking action sooner.

“This issue should have been resolved a long time ago,” he said. He compared the current operations against Iran to past U.S. wars in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan, noting the lengthy duration and casualties of those conflicts without achieving the expected benefits.

He asserted that the world would be safer once the conflict with Iran concludes. While praising the courage and military skills of American soldiers, he left unclear under what conditions the U.S. would deem its military objectives fully achieved and conclude the campaign.

During the event, Trump honored veterans from different generations and assured ongoing support for their welfare after completing military service. The audience welcomed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth with applause as Trump praised his efforts before continuing his address in honor of the veterans.
