US President Donald Trump stated that America did not start the war with Iran, claiming the conflict dates back to 1979. He made the remarks on November 11 during a speech at Arlington National Cemetery. Trump said Iran has been waging war against America since 1979, referencing the hostage crisis involving 66 Americans. He acknowledged some difficulties but called them "minor setbacks" and expressed confidence in overcoming them. The US and Israel launched a joint air attack on Iran on February 28, 2026. Washington has since opted for increased economic pressure rather than resuming military action or diplomatic negotiations.
