Maher condemned Trump’s repeated declarations of victory during ongoing U.S.-Iran ceasefire negotiations, highlighting that the Strait of Hormuz remains closed and Iran’s regime is still in power.
He pointed out Trump’s contradictory social media posts and noted the president’s legal avoidance of formally declaring war, despite extending the ceasefire and claiming the conflict was won early on.
Maher, who initially supported military action, now urges Trump to withdraw, acknowledging that anticipated Iranian uprisings and strategic objectives have not materialized as the situation remains unresolved.
