U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday that Iran “never won a war,” in the wake of the killing of a top Iranian commander in a U.S. airstrike in the Iraqi capital Baghdad.
“Iran never won a war, but never lost a negotiation!” Trump said on Twitter.
His remarks came after U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s statement, which was reiterating Washington’s commitment to de-escalation with Iran.
The U.S. confirmed Thursday that it carried out a strike that killed Qassem Soleimani, the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps’ Quds Force.
In a pair of tweets, Trump defended the assassination of Soleimani, saying the slain general should have been killed long time ago.
