Donald Trump2026-09-19 01:05:05Trump says U.S. is “easily winning” war with Iran and expects conflict to end soonU.S. President Donald Trump said the United States is 「easily winning」 its war with Iran and insisted that Iran will not obtain a nuclear weapon. He said Americans may have to accept higher gasoline prices in order to stop Iran from becoming nuclear-armed, but argued that the public would prefer that outcome over allowing Iran to get a bomb. Trump also said the war would end soon and that gasoline prices would then fall back, potentially to levels below where they were before the conflict. He added that if the United States had not sent B-2 bombers to strike Iran, Iran 「might already have a nuclear weapon now」. The remarks were reported by BlockBeats on Sept. 19.660
