President Donald Trump stated Wednesday that the war with Iran is 'going very well' and that Iran is making 'very significant' concessions, according to the source reporting his remarks. Trump did not elaborate on the specific concessions or timeline, but described the situation as 'very, very good.' The statement follows earlier reports by i24NEWS that Trump said Iran was making significant concessions.
President Donald Trump said Wednesday evening that the war with Iran is 'going very well' and that Iran is making 'very big' concessions, according to a source quoting his remarks. Trump stated: 'The war is going very well. As you know, we are winning by a large margin. Iran is giving up very large concessions. We'll see what happens, but this has been very strong. The situation is very, very good.'
The latest remarks, reported at 20:46 Jerusalem, come just 23 minutes after The Zioneer reported at 20:23 Jerusalem that Trump, citing i24NEWS, said Iran was making 'very significant' concessions. That earlier i24NEWS report was the first iteration of this thread — a brief statement from the president without elaboration. Trump's own fuller quote now adds the assessment that the war is 'going very well' and frames the situation as a US military advantage, not only diplomatic progress.
As The Zioneer has reported across the thread, Trump has been issuing upbeat assessments since early June. On June 8, he told a New York Post reporter that developments were 'going great.' By June 11, he announced an 'excellent settlement' to end the war, with final documents expected within days. On June 12, i24NEWS reported Trump saying the war was over and Iran had agreed to never hold nuclear weapons. On June 18, he issued a statement praising the emerging deal, asserting oil was flowing and Iran would never obtain a nuclear weapon. On June 21, he issued a social-media-style message describing the US as winning on all fronts. The thread has oscillated between declarations of a completed deal and ongoing positive assessments, with no final agreement formally confirmed.
What remains open: Trump did not specify which concessions Iran is making, whether a formal agreement is actually close or already signed, or what stage any talks are at. The exact forum for his latest statement was not confirmed beyond the source's report. The discrepancy between previous declarations that the war is 'over' and tonight's framing of a war that is currently 'going very well' — still in progress — has not been addressed.
