In the competitive category of “verbal contortion”, Trump’s is a gold medal performance.

It's definitely an....ususual way of framing the war. It has to be over, so they don't run afoul of the War Powers Act. Iran War I has concluded. But obviously it can't really be over, because we didn't achieve very many of our war objectives and the Strait is still closed. So we can't leave. We're going to have to start Iran War II at some point, probably. But since we have to pretend that the initial war is over, Trump has to say we won that war - otherwise he leaves himself open to having admitted that we lost the first Iran War. Which is definitely over.
