President Donald Trump spoke at the Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery, asserting that the United States has already won the war with Iran and that the only remaining question is when it will end.

He framed the conflict as a response to Iran’s long‑standing aggression, citing the 1979 escalation and the 1983 Beirut bombing that killed 241 American service members.

Trump highlighted Marine veteran Dale Garner, a survivor of that attack, to underscore the mission’s importance.

He said U.S. operations against Iran began seven months ago, with only a few weeks of active hard fighting, and that 18 American soldiers were lost.
