> US President Donald Trump says victory over Iran is near and declares the American operation a success. He says the US has already won because Iran cannot obtain a nuclear weapon, claims Iran has been set back 25 years, and asserts that Washington controls the Strait of Hormuz. The US resumed large-scale strikes on Iran on July 8 after an earlier cessation of hostilities.
