Trump Claims Iran War Won, Pentagon Plans 'Most Intense Strikes' Tuesday
KEY POINTS
- •President Trump declared the Iran war 'won but not enough' during a GOP retreat on Monday.
- •Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the following Tuesday would feature the 'most intense day of strikes.'
- •Various scenarios include resumed nuclear talks, a Venezuela-style regime change, and special forces raids amid rising economic pressure.
President Trump dazzled Republicans Monday by announcing the Iran war is 'won but not won enough,' followed by media-friendly 'very complete, pretty much' on CBS. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gleefully promised Tuesday's strikes would be the 'most intense day yet,' offering a plot twist no one asked for. Meanwhile, Iran's nuclear negotiations fizzled as Trump's envoys branded Tehran unserious pre-war, despite Oman's hopeful claim peace was 'within reach' a day before epic strikes. As Trump dreamt of a Venezuela-style regime swap and Israeli PM Netanyahu cheered 'conditions for brave Iranians,' the opposition stayed leaderless and scattered. Plus, the 'boots on the ground' special forces mission buzzes amid ongoing missile fire, all under economic pain threatening US voters—because nothing says midterms like high stakes and mixed messages.
