US Achieves “Total Victory” in Iran Ceasefire, Says Trump
Trump claims US scored “total victory” with Iran ceasefire; uranium fate unresolved, China reportedly aided negotiations.
President Donald Trump declared on Tuesday that the United States had achieved a “total and complete victory” after agreeing to a two-week ceasefire with Iran. Speaking briefly to AFP, Trump said, “Total and complete victory. 100 percent. No question about it,” following the announcement of the truce.
The U.S. leader did not clarify whether he would resume prior threats to target Iranian civilian infrastructure, such as power plants and bridges, if the ceasefire were to collapse. “You’re going to have to see,” Trump told reporters when pressed for details.
A key issue in the conflict has been Iran’s enriched uranium program. Trump insisted that the matter would be “perfectly taken care of” under the terms of the deal, although he declined to provide specifics. He emphasized that the U.S. military action was aimed at preventing Tehran from developing nuclear weapons.

Trump also suggested that China played a role in persuading Iran to enter negotiations. When asked whether Beijing had helped bring Tehran to the table, he replied, “I hear yes.” The president is scheduled to visit Beijing in May to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping, potentially to discuss further diplomatic coordination.
The ceasefire agreement represents a temporary pause in heightened U.S.-Iran tensions, which had escalated in recent weeks amid threats of military strikes and concerns over Iran’s nuclear program. The deal allows for a two-week window during which both sides are expected to refrain from hostilities while further negotiations continue.
Analysts note that while Trump frames the agreement as a victory, the underlying issues—nuclear enrichment, regional influence, and sanctions relief—remain unresolved. The short-term truce may provide a breathing space, but long-term stability will depend on whether Iran and the United States can reach a durable diplomatic settlement.
