ISTANBUL, June 12 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- US President Donald Trump has dismissed any support from the G7 as “irrelevant” and claimed that “we have won the war in Iran" in a brief phone interview broadcast by Italian channel La7 on Friday, Anadolu Ajansi reported.
Trump made remarks during a call with the La7 Washington correspondent.
Asked whether he had a message for G7 leaders, Trump said the US had not needed external support.
“We didn’t need any support. So, we have won the war. It was a bit irrelevant, irrelevant! I have to go. I’m in an important meeting, but we have won the war in Iran. We didn’t need their help,” Trump said.
The comments came ahead of the G7 summit scheduled for June 15-17.
Regional tensions that began on Feb 28 after Israeli and US strikes on Iran triggered a cycle of military confrontations, retaliatory attacks and diplomatic disputes.
Iran and Israel also exchanged strikes in recent days before pulling back, highlighting the fragility of a ceasefire and ongoing efforts by regional and international mediators to revive diplomacy and prevent a broader conflict.
