Trump stated that the United States had achieved "complete and absolute victory."
In a phone call, Trump said he believed China had persuaded Iran to negotiate and stated that Tehran's enriched uranium would be "perfectly taken care of."
The US leader appeared optimistic about the truce with Iran, despite Tehran also calling it a victory for its side, and amid questions about what exactly both sides had agreed upon.
The two sides agreed to a ceasefire just an hour before Trump's deadline for the Islamic Republic's destruction.
"Complete and absolute victory. 100 percent. No doubt," Trump told AFP in a brief conversation when asked if he claimed victory due to the ceasefire.
The White House also called the two-week ceasefire with Iran a "victory for the United States."
"This is a victory for the United States, brought about by President Trump and our incredible military. From the very beginning of Operation Epic Fury, President Trump estimated that this would be a 4-6 week operation. Thanks to the incredible capabilities of our warriors, we achieved and exceeded our primary military objectives in 38 days. The success of our military created maximum impact, allowing President Trump and his team to conduct complex negotiations that have now created opportunities for a diplomatic solution and long-term peace. In addition, President Trump secured the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. One should never underestimate President Trump's ability to successfully advance America's interests and mediate peace," White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt wrote on X.
Given the uncertainty surrounding the agreements to unblock the Strait of Hormuz for oil shipments, Trump insisted that there was a strong foundation for a long-term agreement.
"We have a 15-point agreement, most of which has already been agreed upon. We'll see what happens. We'll see if it goes through," Trump said.
The Republican president, in his previous statement on Truth Social, announced that Iran had provided a 10-point proposal that was "workable."
Trump did not say whether he would revert to his initial threats to destroy Iran's civilian power plants and bridges if the deal fell apart.
"We'll see," Trump told AFP.
