When talking about Trump's demand for Iran's unconditional surrender, White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said that as long as Trump believes Iran has surrendered, it doesn't matter what Iran says.
She said today: When Trump, as Commander-in-Chief, determines that Iran no longer poses a threat to the United States and that the objectives of the "Operation Epic Wrath" have been fully achieved, Iran will actually be in a position of unconditional surrender, regardless of whether they say so themselves.
Comment: This is very much in line with Trump's self-congratulatory style. Essentially, it's about finding an exit for war and giving a report to the domestic audience: regardless of whether the battlefield objectives have been fully achieved or whether Iran acknowledges the defeat, as long as Trump declares "victory," the operation can be "legally concluded."
