Wikipedia burns Trump by declaring his military misadventure an 'Iranian victory'

President Donald Trump got yet another piece of humiliation about the conclusion of the Iran war — and it came in its entry on Wikipedia.As of press time, the Wikipedia page for 2026 Iran War states that the outcome of the war was Iranian victory.As evidence, the article provides a number of citations from political analysts, including a piece in The Atlantic by Graeme Wood titled Iran Has Humiliated Trump, and a piece in The Independent by Sam Kiley, titled, Trump has achieved none of his aims in Iran. His ‘ceasefire’ can’t work and won’t work.Trump, for his part, continues to tout the memorandum of understanding that suspended hostilities in Iran as a victory, claiming those who don't like the deal are fools.However, Trump is facing opposition not just from Democrats, but a number of conservative Republicans who are generally on his side, like Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX).Wikipedia outsources its content to a collective of online volunteer editors and, by its own rules, avoids partisan and opinionated entries.Despite this, Republicans have sometimes come after Wikipedia for what they perceive to be unfair bias. Last year, when Trump loyalist Ed Martin was running the U.S. Attorney's office in Washington, D.C., he sent a threatening letter to the Wikimedia Foundation, Wikipedia's parent organization, accusing them of violating their nonprofit status to push propaganda.
