During a rally in Arizona, US President Donald Trump stated that Iranian armed forces have been defeated and further levels of Iranian command have been eliminated. He surprisingly admitted that the military operation may have gone "somewhat too far," marking his first such concession. Trump also revealed a promise made to Iran regarding the operation. He reiterated his prediction of a swift conclusion to the conflict. The statements represent a shift in tone from previous, more assertive declarations concerning Iran. This admission comes amid ongoing tensions and potential for further escalation in the region.
