Trump Asked What He Meant by We've Already Won in Many Ways' But Haven't Won Enough'

"Where they're not going to be starting the following day to develop a nuclear weapon. Where they'll look at that man and some other people from the administration and say, All right, we're not going to do it. They were not willing to say that. And when Steve called up and he said that to me, I said, Well, here we go. Let's do it the hard way."

"I can see that they will no longer have any capacity whatsoever for a very long period of time of developing weaponry that could be used against the United States, Israel, or any of our allies. We have great allies in the Middle East, great countries that are allies."

"If I didn't hit them first, they were going to hit our allies first. I believe, upon information and belief, but I believe that they were going to take over the Middle East. They were looking to take over the Middle East. Now, had Operation Midnight Hammer not taken place? That was definite, because they would have had a nuclear weapon within a matter of weeks."

President Trump addressed his statement that the U.S. has won in many ways against Iran but hasn't won enough. He clarified that sufficient victory requires Iran to permanently abandon nuclear weapons development and cease threatening the United States and its allies. Trump emphasized that without preemptive action, Iran would have developed nuclear weapons within weeks and threatened regional stability. He referenced Operation Midnight Hammer as a decisive measure that prevented Iran from acquiring nuclear capability and potentially dominating the Middle East. Trump stressed that complete victory means ensuring Iran has no capacity for weaponry development against the U.S., Israel, or allied nations for an extended period.
