President Trump said on Friday that Iran is “totally defeated” just two weeks into the conflict with the Islamic republic. “The Fake News Media hates to report how well the United States Military has done against Iran, which is totally defeated and wants a deal — But not a deal that I would accept!” he posted to Truth Social late Friday.
He made the statement towards the end of the 14th day of the U.S.-Israeli military operation. Trump did not provide any further details about a potential deal or ongoing negotiations. The update comes amid varying perspectives on the direction and timeline of the conflict.
Shortly after the initial strikes on Iran on February 28, Trump predicted that the “major combat operations” would be a “short-term excursion,” lasting “four to five weeks” or possibly longer. He mentioned to reporters on Friday that the conflict would continue “as long as it’s necessary,” emphasizing that the U.S. attacks are “well ahead of schedule.”
The administration has expressed frustration over reports that contradict its timeline or the extent of the war.

He described the article as “patently ridiculous” and “fundamentally unserious.”
