Trump Declares Iran Defeated as U.S. and Israeli Forces Continue Missile Strikes

President Trump announced that Iran is totally defeated and is now looking for a deal. He dismissed reports to the contrary as fake news while joint military operations continue. These statements follow two weeks of intense air campaigns by the United States and Israel. Despite the president's claims, military reports show that airstrikes have not eliminated the Iranian missile threat. Iran has moved longer-range missiles deeper into its territory to avoid further damage. Some analysts argue that military force alone cannot ensure long-term security for Israel in the region.
