Doubts Grow Over Trump’s “Victory” Claim

Donald Trump has described the recent outcome of the conflict with Iran as a “total victory,” but according to reports, some of his own allies and advisers are privately worried that this may be an exaggeration.

Officials say that while US and Israeli strikes seriously damaged parts of Iran’s military—including missile systems, air defenses, and sections of its nuclear program—Iran still remains capable of fighting back. Some missile launchers, drones, and uranium supplies are believed to still exist, with some hidden underground.

One of the biggest concerns is the fragile two-week cease-fire, which many believe could collapse if unresolved issues continue—especially tensions over the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for global oil shipments. Any disruption there could quickly restart the conflict.

US officials also warn that Iran still has other military options, including naval units that could threaten ships and weapons capable of striking nearby countries and US forces in the region.

While the White House is presenting the campaign as a major success ahead of diplomatic talks, some insiders fear the administration may be underestimating the danger by sounding too confident.

In short, although Iran has been weakened, many believe the conflict is far from truly over—and lasting peace will depend on what happens next in negotiations.
