Trump says US 'wins regardless' of Iran peace talks outcome

President Trump declared that America wins whether peace talks with Iran succeed or fail. The talks are happening in Pakistan with US, Iran, and Pakistani officials participating.

Trump told reporters the US has "totally defeated that country" and "defeated them militarily." He said it "makes no difference" to him if negotiators reach a peace deal.

"Whether we make a deal or not, it makes no difference to me — and the reason is because we've won," Trump said. He dismissed media coverage as "Fake News" while defending his military victory claims.

The conflict has affected global shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil transport route. Stock markets have been watching the talks closely for signs of whether tensions will ease.

Trump's comments suggest he may not feel pressure to compromise in negotiations since he views the US position as already successful.

Why this matters

These talks could end or continue the conflict that has disrupted global oil markets and trade routes. Trump's stance suggests he may not push hard for a peace deal since he believes the US has already won.

What to watch

Watch for results from the trilateral talks in Pakistan and any Iranian response to Trump's comments.
