Trump: ‘Treasonous’ for Dems to claim US ‘not winning’ Iran war
President donald Trump saeid on Friday that Democrats calling the U.S. “not winning” against Iran were “treasonous,” arguing that U.S. forces have largely eliminated Iran’s navy and air force. He made the comments at The Villages in Florida while citing the success of U.S. military operations.
Trump also said he was dissatisfied with Iran’s latest peace offer and suggested it was unclear who in Iran is running negotiations or capable of making deals. Even with his criticism, he informed Congress that hostilities with Iran have “terminated,” noting there has been no exchange of fire since April 7, 2026. That declaration came as the War Powers Resolution’s 60-day period-counted from his March 2 notice to Congress-neared its end.
