Vice President JD Vance had barely touched down in Islamabad, Pakistan, when President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Saturday morning to declare the war his administration is still trying to end a sweeping American victory. The post, which made no mention of the ongoing peace talks or of Vance's mission, landed as Iranian and US officials were preparing to sit across from one another for what both sides have described as a critical round of negotiations.
'Their Navy is gone, their Air Force is gone, their Anti Aircraft apparatus is nonexistent, Radar is dead, their Missile and Drone Factories have been largely obliterated,' Trump wrote on Truth Social, adding that Iran's longtime 'Leaders' are 'no longer with us, praise be to Allah.' The 79-year-old president made no reference to Vance, to special envoy Steve Witkoff, or to the diplomatic effort now unfolding in Pakistan under his vice president's leadership.
