Trump reiterates will to win war in Iran after shooting

On 26 April 2026, Trump said a shooting at the White House press dinner would not 'deter' him from the Iran war and that he wanted to win it. He said the shooting was not connected with the Iran war.

On day 58 of the war, talks between Tehran and Washington had stalled. Trump cancelled a trip to Pakistan for talks and said the Iran war was on hold. He also said Washington was discussing with Tehran the removal of nuclear material.
