TRUMP: ‘WE ENDED THE WAR’: Phoning into a get-out-the-vote “tele-rally” in Georgia last night, Trump struck a triumphant note. “I don’t know if you heard, but we ended the war with Iran today, and they have agreed never to have nuclear weapons.”The victory declaration capped a day that began with Trump announcing at 8:22 on Truth Social that the U.S. would be hitting Iran “VERY HARD TONIGHT,” and saying that U.S. would be “taking Kharg Island, and other oil infrastructure points,” in the “not too distant future,” effectively assuming “total control of their Oil and Gas Markets.”But five hours later, Trump announced, again on Truth Social, that he had called off the “scheduled strikes and bombings,” asserting that “final points” of an agreement to end the war “have been, in both concept and great detail, approved by all parties involved,” including “the highest level of Iranian leadership.”
“Time and place of the signing to be announced shortly,” Trump said, adding, “The Naval Blockade will remain in full force and effect until this Transaction is finalized.”
So far, Iran has not confirmed that an agreement has been reached, and a foreign ministry spokesman says he’s not aware that Iran’s Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has approved anything.
