US President Donald Trump said Wednesday night local time that the United States has delivered "swift, decisive, overwhelming victories" in its war with Iran, declaring that "America is winning." Trump's remarks came even as Iran pledged to proceed with retaliatory actions. 

The office of Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei released excerpts of his first remarks on social media, reaffirming the closure of the Strait of Hormuz as a legitimate countermeasure and saying Tehran was examining "other potential fronts." Iran's Foreign Ministry has said the supreme leader remains in good health but has postponed public appearances due to the fighting. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said in an open letter to the American public on Wednesday that Iran holds no hostility toward ordinary US citizens and urged them to reject what he called war propaganda.
