United States President Donald Trump on Monday claimed that the US is winning the war against Iran by “a lot”. His remark comes ahead of the ceasefire deadline on April 22 and amid reports of possible peace talks in Pakistan. Trump said the situation is going very well and expressed confidence about the outcome.

Trump Talks Victory Ahead Of Ceasefire Deadline

In a series of posts on Truth Social, Trump emphasised that he is not under any “pressure” to make a deal with Iran. He slammed several media reports for providing false narratives on war with Iran and labelled them as “fake news”. He added that his focus is on fixing long-standing issues with Tehran that previous presidents did not handle properly.

“I’m winning a War, BY A LOT, things are going very well, our Military has been amazing and, if you read the Fake News, like The Failing New York Times, the absolutely horrendous and disgusting Wall Street Journal, or the now almost defunct, fortunately, Washington Post, you would actually think we are losing the War,” he wrote.

Trump said Washington is clearly winning the war and praised the military’s performance. He claimed Iran’s navy and air force are badly damaged, its defence systems are weak, and many of its leaders are no longer in power. He stated that the US Naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz is severely hurting Iran’s economy, claiming it is losing about USD 500 million every day. He stressed that the blockade will continue until a deal is reached.

“And perhaps, most important of all, THE BLOCKADE, which we will not take off until there is a “DEAL,” is absolutely destroying Iran. They are losing $500 Million Dollars a day, an unsustainable number, even in the short run,” Trump added. In another post, he criticised Democrats, calling them weak and accusing them of trying to harm the country’s position. He claimed they had earlier spoken about the dangers of Iran but are now attacking him because he is taking action.

Trump Rules Out Pressure For Deal

“The Democrats are doing everything possible to hurt the very strong position we are in with respect to Iran,” Trump said. He also attacked major US media outlets, saying they are reporting the situation wrongly. He further rejected the reports, which claim that he is under “pressure” to make a deal. Trump claimed that the US will not lose and that the final result will be in America’s favour.

“I read the Fake News saying that I am under “pressure” to make a Deal. THIS IS NOT TRUE! I am under no pressure whatsoever, although it will all happen, relatively quickly! Time is not my adversary, the only thing that matters is that we finally, after 47 years, straighten out the MESS that other Presidents let happen because they didn’t have the Courage or Foresight to do what had to be done with respect to Iran,” Trump added.
