The President of the United States, Donald Trump, declared this Wednesday that, after 11 days, his country has won the war with Iran. "We have won. In the first hour, everything was already over," declared the president during a public event in the town of Hebron, in the state of Kentucky. In this regard, he stated that his Administration is also working on maintaining the flow of oil, while announcing that they have shot down dozens of Iranian warships and 31 mining vessels. "Every hour I have to change [the numbers], because we shoot them down very quickly. We have shot down 54 ships in 2 days, and they are real ships, they are warships."

"In the last 11 days, our Army has practically destroyed Iran. Their air force has disappeared. It is totally destroyed, which took us about three hours. You no longer have radars, they have no anti-aircraft equipment, they have nothing", he insisted. He also stated that Iran's missile arsenal was 90% destroyed and its drone arsenal 85% destroyed, while they are "blowing up the factories where they produce them left and right." Trump recalled that, after the operation Midnight Hammer, when "Iran's nuclear potential was completely destroyed", he thought that "that would be their end for a while, but they started again". "That's why we have to end this. We don't want to come back every two years, because someday the day will come when I am no longer president. And maybe they'll have a weak and pathetic person like the ones we've had in the past. Most of them," he asserted.
