In a carefully worded yet forceful reaction, the Iranian Embassy in India stated that if the United States were to recognize Iran’s nuclear rights, end the conflict on all fronts, withdraw from the region, lift the naval blockade, remove what it described as deadly sanctions imposed on the Iranian people, and compensate for the extensive damage caused by the war, Iran would gladly inform the world that Trump had achieved a great and historic victory.
The exchange followed a lengthy post published by Trump on his social media platform, Truth Social, on Tuesday. In the post, Trump argued that even if Iran completely capitulated, acknowledged the destruction of its navy, accepted that its air force had ceased to function, withdrew its military from Tehran, laid down its weapons, and formally surrendered before the strength of the US military, the American media would still portray the outcome as a major Iranian victory.
Describing a hypothetical scenario, Trump wrote that even if Iranian forces raised white flags across the country and the entire leadership signed surrender documents before the United States military, what he called the “fake news” media would continue to depict the development as a triumph for Iran rather than for the United States.
Trump specifically targeted several prominent American media organizations in his remarks. He referred to The New York Times as a failed publication, called The Wall Street Journal “China Street Journal,” and described CNN as corrupt. He also criticized the Democratic Party, writing that “Dumacrats” and the media had completely lost their way and had become irrational. The term used by Trump is widely regarded as a highly derogatory expression in American political discourse.
The sharp exchange underscores the deepening rhetoric surrounding the Iran issue and highlights the increasingly confrontational tone between political leaders, media institutions, and international stakeholders. The Iranian Embassy’s response and Trump’s remarks have added another layer to the already tense atmosphere surrounding relations involving Iran and the United States.
