Trump: US Not at War With Iran, No Casualties in Five Months

President Donald Trump said the US is not at war with Iran, claiming progress and noting no casualties in five months while also asserting his administration prevented Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. Trump stated the US is extracting more oil than before the conflict, framing the confrontation as successful. His remarks come amid ongoing uncertainty over military campaign status and continued discussions of fresh strike options against Tehran. The president also claimed Israel and the Middle East would not exist without his actions, though a Congressional Research Service assessment said strike damage to Iran's nuclear program remains unclear, and Iran denies seeking nuclear weapons.
