Trump retweeted an article claiming victory in the Iran war, listing eight major achievements.

US President Trump recently retweeted a commentary by conservative political figure Christopher Ruddy on social media. In the article, Ruddy argues that Trump has won the war, and won decisively. The article provides eight reasons for this "win": ① It achieved its goal of preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons and destroying its nuclear program. ② It undermined Iran's status as a regional military power. ③ It fostered a de facto new Arab-Israeli alliance, as key Gulf states found their future closely tied to Washington and Jerusalem. ④ It weakened the network of Iranian proxies that had plagued the region for years. ⑤ It forced NATO members to rethink and strengthen NATO. ⑥ Russia's position has also been weakened. While Moscow may benefit in the short term from sanctions relief and high oil prices, these are only temporary gains. ⑦ Stabilizing the Gulf region and reopening energy flows will ultimately benefit global markets and the world economy. ⑧ The conflict with Iran may make the US stronger and better prepared for future wars.
