«We won the war in an hour». Trump praises the 'Epic Fury' operation in Iran

"We won the war against Iran in an hour." This was stated by Donald Trump during a rally in Kentucky, celebrating the success of the military operation against Iran dubbed "Epic fury". The American president praised the name chosen for the mission, emphasizing how beautiful it is only when you win, and then firmly reiterated the victory of the United States.

The intervention in Iran, described by the tycoon as a necessary journey to rid the world of individuals "very evil", was justified in response to direct threats: from the killing of American citizens to the attempt to conquer the Middle East, to the intention of launching an imminent attack against Israel. During the event, Trump extolled the power of the U.S. military, strengthened during his first term, admitting he never imagined he would have to employ it so intensively. As proof of this strength, the president updated in real-time the toll of damage inflicted on the enemy, correcting a previous statement and clarifying that the destroyed Iranian minesweepers totaled thirty-one, not twenty-eight. Looking to the next steps, and despite the current drop in oil prices in the markets, Trump made it clear that the offensive will not stop until "the job is done", while reassuring the audience that the outcome will occur in very quick time.

The rally experienced an unexpected interruption of about ten minutes due to the illness of a person in the audience. First aid was promptly provided by Dr. Mehmet Oz, a well-known television personality and current member of the U.S. government. While waiting for assistance, the president asked the crew to play the Ave Maria sung by Luciano Pavarotti, but his request went unheard.

Meanwhile, new movements are being recorded on the front of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. According to reports from Russian news agencies Tass and Interfax, Kirill Dmitriev, foreign investment advisor to Vladimir Putin and Russian negotiator, is currently in Miami. In the Florida city, several private meetings are taking place with representatives of the Trump administration. These talks, which are primarily economic in nature, are closely connected to the trilateral negotiations between Ukraine, Russia, and the United States that took place in Geneva last month.
