Trump claims victory in Iran war at Veterans Day ceremony
What's new: At Arlington, he said the conflict was won but left open when the United States would end it.
President Donald Trump used a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery to argue the United States had already won its war with Iran, while signaling the conflict could continue. After placing a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Trump told attendees, "we won," then added it was "just a question of when we want to end it." The remarks tied a solemn military observance to the ongoing war and came at Arlington, near Memorial Circle, the proposed site of a 250-foot triumphal arch backed by Trump. The event underscored how the Iran conflict is shaping White House messaging on a major national holiday.
