President Donald Trump has announced that the United States anticipates declaring “total victory” over Iran within the next two weeks. This updated timeline was shared during a tele-rally held Monday evening in support of Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who is seeking to avoid a runoff in his state’s primary election.
US Strategy and Timeline
Speaking to voters in South Carolina, President Trump characterized the US approach as “a very tough team.” He stated, “And I think we are winning that battle. But you’re really going to win it over the next two weeks when we declare total victory.” The President further indicated that this outcome would lead to a significant drop in oil prices, adding, “It will happen very soon and oil prices will come tumbling down.”
This declaration follows previous statements made in late February, when the President suggested the conflict with Iran would conclude in approximately four weeks. The situation has now extended beyond three months, coinciding with a national rise in gas prices.
Senator Graham’s Stance
Senator Lindsey Graham, a vocal proponent of military action against Iran, is facing several primary opponents. Some of these challengers have specifically raised objections to his assertive stance on the ongoing conflict.
Recent Developments
While the President has repeatedly asserted that the conflict was nearing its end, recent days have seen renewed fighting between Iran and Israel. However, reports indicate that hostilities between the two nations ceased earlier on Monday.
This is a developing story and will be updated with further information.
