Trump declares Iran war 'won' and regime change achieved, claims peace talks ongoing

President Trump declared that the U.S. and Israel have already 'won' the war in Iran and achieved regime change after more than three weeks of airstrikes that killed senior Iranian leaders and destroyed military capability. He claimed Iran's leaders were now 'very different' and willing to make a deal, stating that peace negotiations were ongoing involving his son-in-law Jared Kushner and other officials. However, Iran's Foreign Ministry explicitly denied any agreement or negotiations, with spokesman Esmail Baghaei stating 'There is no truth to claims of negotiations or agreements.' White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt warned Trump would 'unleash hell' if a peace deal is not reached, even as the Pentagon deployed 3,000 additional paratroopers to the region, directly contradicting claims the war had been won. The conflict has resulted in significant civilian casualties and infrastructure damage, though precise figures remain disputed.

"This war has been won. We have already achieved regime change in Iran because the top leaders have been replaced. They are very different leaders now who want to make a deal." — Statement made during press conference while Pentagon was simultaneously deploying 3,000 additional paratroopers to the region and Iran was denying any negotiations
