Trump says 'this war has been won' as Iran denies any agreement

US President Donald Trump said “this war has been won,” claiming a joint US-Israel campaign against Iran had eliminated key leaders and secured commitments from Tehran to never seek a nuclear weapon.

Iran denied any negotiations and reiterated its longstanding position that it does not seek nuclear weapons.

Trump said Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio were involved in talks, while also hinting at a “present” related to oil, gas and the Strait of Hormuz.
