Donald Trump made his claim of victory over Iran at a Veterans Day event at Arlington National Cemetery on Wednesday 11 November, and his full wording is now available. The White House livestream carried the remarks in the early afternoon Washington time, according to Clash Report.
"We want to make sure we have a total victory, not a 93% victory. It's going to be total."
That is the wording reported by the Jerusalem Post and Middle East Eye. According to Middle East Eye, he also said Iran has been waging war against America since 1979.
The Jerusalem Post reports that Trump claimed the US campaign caused damage that would take Iran about 25 years to repair. That figure has not been independently checked.
Clash Report notes that Trump did not explain the 93% figure. Polialert says the declaration does not establish that the war has formally ended.
The remarks are consistent with what he said at a White House briefing on Monday, when he said "Iran militarily is effectively over".
