Trump Says Iran Will Be Defeated Soon as U.S. Strikes Continue

President Donald Trump said at the Pennsylvania Defense and Innovation Summit that Iran would be defeated soon, while describing the United States as doing well in the conflict. He blamed former President Barack Obama for turning away from Israel and toward Iran, linking that policy to the current confrontation. The U.S. was continuing strikes against Iranian targets as the summit convened. Trump also promoted nearly $10 billion in planned Pennsylvania defense-technology investment while U.S. officials and manufacturers work to replenish Tomahawk missiles and Patriot and THAAD interceptors used during the war.
