Iran's President says the world has accepted that Iran won the
war
Iranian state media reported Friday that President Masoud
Pezeshkian said the war with the U.S. should end since the world
has already accepted that Iran has won.
“The entire world approved our victory and the U.S. is hated,”
he said according to IRNA news agency.
The remarks came as the Trump administration is touting a
crushing financial campaign against Iran, promising an “economic
D-Day” against the country. President Donald Trump announced
that the U.S. would be imposing an “unprecedented” level of
economic warfare and isolation on Iran, aiming to force its
leadership to cave to demands to end its nuclear program and
fully reopen the crucial Strait of Hormuz to oil and natural gas
tankers.
U.S. Ambassador to Turkey and special envoy for Syria appears to
contradict official U.S. position on the Golan Heights
In an interview Friday, Tom Barrack said that Israel “still”
occupies the territory in violation of U.N. resolutions.
In his comments made to Mario Nawfal, a Lebanese-Australian
entrepreneur, Barrack said that “in the Golan, with Syria, they
(Israel) still occupy the Golan, against the U.N. resolutions.”
Israel captured the Golan Heights from Syria in the 1967 war and
annexed it in 1981. The U.N. considers the territory occupied
Syrian land and the annexation null and void, with U.N.
resolutions calling for Israel’s withdrawal to the June 4, 1967,
line.
In March 2019, Trump signed a proclamation recognizing Israeli
sovereignty over the Golan Heights, reversing decades of U.S.
policy. The move did not change the territory’s status under
international law or win broader international recognition.
Colombia became the second country to recognize Israeli
sovereignty over the Golan this month, joining the United
States.
Barrack’s remarks sparked a backlash Saturday from conservative
activist and U.S. presidential ally Laura Loomer, who posted on
X that he “should resign for his lack of understanding of U.S.
foreign policy.”
