Trump claims Iran war 'coming to an end' while making contradictory statements about conflict

During an NBC News interview, President Trump stated 'We're doing great. And it's coming to an end' regarding the U.S. war against Iran. This directly contradicted statements he made earlier the same day claiming the U.S. was 'completely crushing Iran' and reiterating claims about destroying Iran's infrastructure. The contradictory messaging comes amid ongoing military operations and as Trump reportedly told aides he's willing to end the campaign even without reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Trump also posted on Truth Social attacking European allies for not joining the war, telling them to 'go get your own oil.' Multiple sources note Trump has made numerous unsubstantiated claims throughout the conflict, including falsely declaring Iran's nuclear program 'completely destroyed' despite no independent verification of such claims.
