Resolves YES if President Trump publicly declares victory in the Iran war before November 3, 2026.

What counts as YES

• Using the word "victory" or "won" in reference to the Iran war

• A formal "mission accomplished" declaration or equivalent

• Announcing the war is "over" or "ended" in an official address, press conference, or Truth Social post

What does NOT count

• "Winding down," "hard part is done," "on track" — progress language without a definitive victory claim

• Military drawdowns without an explicit victory declaration

• Other officials declaring victory if Trump himself does not

Context

The US-Israel war against Iran began February 28, 2026. As of April 3, Trump has addressed the nation saying "the hard part is done" and that the war will end "shortly" — but has NOT declared victory. Over 2,000 Iranian casualties reported. Iran's nuclear sites, steel plants, and military infrastructure have been struck. Historical parallel: George W. Bush's 2003 "Mission Accomplished" banner became one of the most iconic political moments in US history.

The 2026 midterm elections create strong political incentive to declare victory before voters go to the polls.
