President Donald Trump declared that the United States will soon achieve victory in the war against Iran "one way or another," expressing confidence in Washington's ability to fulfill its objectives in the ongoing confrontation.

In an interview with ABC, Trump described the recent Israeli attack on Iran as "unnecessary," while acknowledging his understanding of Israel's motivations behind the operation.

Trump also revealed that he advised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to avoid any actions that could harm the ongoing negotiations with Iran, stating, "I told Netanyahu not to do anything that would damage the talks with Iran."

Speaking to The Wall Street Journal, Trump said the sanctions have rendered Iran "very poor" and that he intends to maintain them as long as necessary.

He downplayed the significance of the helicopter downing incident, calling it "not a big deal."

Earlier on Tuesday, a security official in Tel Aviv indicated that Israeli assessments suggest the recent round of confrontations with Iran will not be the last, anticipating further exchanges of strikes between the two sides in the future.

In remarks to Hebrew channel News 12, the official noted that these strikes may not occur imminently, emphasizing that the question in Tel Aviv is no longer if such clashes will happen, but when.

The official added, "We will face Iran many times ahead. As long as a regime exists that seeks our destruction, we must ensure it does not acquire nuclear weapons and inflict as much damage as possible on its missile development program."
