Iranian imam Hassan Ameli accused Trump of trying to present the situation as a victory and criticized Netanyahu.

US President Donald Trump said the military campaign against Iran is progressing successfully, and Washington's constant pressure should force Tehran to abandon confrontation. In a Fox News interview, he stressed that the US continues to strike Iranian targets and intends to maintain the course, and that Iran will have no choice but to capitulate. In Iran, there was a sharp reaction: the imam of the city of Ardabil, Hassan Ameli, accused Trump of trying to present the situation as a victory despite the ongoing conflict, and criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying he influences the American leader's decisions. Later on Friday, Trump will hold a cabinet meeting at Camp David to discuss strategy toward Iran and the war's impact on the US economy, including rising fuel prices. According to Reuters, the US administration is seeking options to end the conflict, which has lasted about five months and has proven longer than the White House expected. The Telegraph reported that the US and Israel are considering increasing economic pressure on Iran, including restrictions at border crossings, which would require support from regional countries and could provoke retaliatory measures from Tehran.
