American intelligence is assessing Iran's reaction to a potential statement by Trump regarding a victory. A swift conclusion to the war could strengthen Tehran's position in the region.
U.S. intelligence agencies are analyzing how Iran might react if President Donald Trump declares a unilateral victory in the ongoing two-month war. This was reported by Reuters, citing U.S. officials, according to UNN.

According to sources, the analysis is being conducted at the request of senior administration officials to assess the consequences of a potential winding down of the conflict. A scenario is being considered in which a rapid de-escalation could reduce political pressure on the White House, but at the same time leave Iran in a more advantageous position.

According to intelligence estimates, if the U.S. declares victory and reduces its military presence, Iran may perceive this as its own victory. At the same time, maintaining significant forces in the region could be viewed by Tehran as a negotiating tactic rather than the end of the war.

Sources note that the conflict is already creating political risks for the Republican Party ahead of the U.S. midterm elections scheduled for November this year.
