April 7 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump told AFP on Tuesday that the United States ‌had won a “total and complete victory” after agreeing to a two-week ceasefire deal with Iran.

“Total and complete victory. 100 percent. No question about it,” Trump told AFP in the brief ⁠call when asked if he was claiming victory with the ceasefire.

Trump said the U.S. has received a 10-point proposal from Iran, which he called a “workable basis on which to negotiate.”

But when asked about his original threats to destroy Iran’s civilian power plants and bridges if the deal ‌fell ⁠apart, Trump said, “You’re going to have to see,” the AFP report said.

Trump insisted that Iran’s nuclear material would be covered by any peace deal, the report said.

“That ⁠will be perfectly taken care of, or I wouldn’t have settled,” Trump told AFP without giving any specifics ⁠about what would happen to the uranium.

Trump, who has offered shifting goals and timelines ⁠for the war, reiterated that he felt Washington’s objectives had been achieved.
