US President Donald Trump says the United States seeks “total victory” against Iran, rejecting what he describes as a partial outcome. In remarks delivered at a Veterans Day event, he says Washington needs to ensure Tehran cannot quickly recover from US actions, including a claim that rebuilding what was “destroyed” could take about 25 years.
The two outlets frame the message slightly differently. The Jerusalem Post ties Trump’s comments to broader US political context, noting he speaks a day after the House blocks an impeachment effort against him, and highlights his emphasis on not settling for a “93% victory.” Middle East Eye focuses more directly on the substance of Trump’s argument about Iran’s long-running conflict with the US and the “total victory” target, without adding the impeachment detail. Both sources attribute the same core line—pursuing total victory and citing a 25-year recovery timeline.
