Trump claims Iran is about to surrender in call to world leaders

Donald Trump claimed during a G7 video call that Iran is “about to surrender” following two weeks of bombardment, asserting that the conflict is nearing its end. He indicated that Iran has lost its leadership and failed to provide a specific timeline for concluding the hostilities, which escalated after the US-Israel bombing that killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Meanwhile, Iran’s new supreme leader vowed to retaliate against the US and escalate attacks, raising concerns about rising oil prices due to tensions in the Strait of Hormuz.
