Piers Morgan, the well-known TV personality who has maintained a friendly relationship with President Donald Trump in the past, has directly challenged Trump’s claim that the newly announced two-week ceasefire with Iran is a “historic victory.” Morgan posted his disagreement on X, arguing that Iran had achieved major strategic gains despite suffering heavy military losses on the battlefield.
Morgan’s post was blunt: “America/Israel may have won the war on the battlefield, but Iran won the war on the waterways, paralysed the world’s energy supplies, and caused huge global economic damage. That’s why President Trump has moved to do a deal. It’s not a ‘historic victory’ or anything like it.” His words directly contradicted Defense Secretary Peter Hegseth, who had called the ceasefire a “historic victory” for the United States.
