Trump predicts 'total victory' over Iran within two weeks, cites progress on nuclear deal

President Donald Trump expressed immense confidence that the United States will achieve "total victory" over Iran within two weeks, asserting that a new nuclear deal is within reach. Speaking during a campaign tele-rally, Trump linked this projected breakthrough to lower oil prices and domestic economic relief.

“

We're negotiating now, and they want to make a very good deal. They're willing to give us everything, they're willing to give us no nuclear weapon.

Trump claimed that "backroom diplomacy" with Tehran was yielding significant results, with Iran willing to "capitulate to Washington's key strategic demands" and forgo nuclear weapons. He stated, "We're negotiating now, and they want to make a very good deal. They're willing to give us everything, they're willing to give us no nuclear weapon."

These declarations came as Iran and Israel stepped back from a volatile weekend of retaliatory military strikes. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed the termination of strikes against Iranian targets, though he did not officially endorse a formal ceasefire. Tehran also suspended operations against Israel but warned of restarting offensive maneuvers if Israeli forces continued air raids in southern Lebanon.

“

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. It'll be a total victory. It'll happen very soon, and oil prices will come tumbling down.

Despite the volatile security situation, Iranian diplomatic channels indicated openness to continuing engagements with Washington, with a senior official telling CNN that Tehran had "no problem" with peace talks if the US acted in good faith. However, skepticism about the timeline emerged when Trump was pressed on NBC's "Meet the Press" regarding the lack of a formal agreement.
