Washington, D.C. – Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich declared on X that President Donald Trump is on the edge of an historic victory in the Iran conflict through skilled leadership of a broad Middle East coalition.
In his May 29, 2026 post, Gingrich wrote: “After spending this week reviewing the Iranian war I am now convinced President Trump is on the edge of an historic victory.”
He added: “The real breakthrough for me came as I reviewed President Trump’s decisions and maneuvers not from the standpoint of American unilateralism but from the standpoint of the leader of a remarkable historic coalition, the largest coalition ever put together in the modern Middle East.”
Gingrich noted strong support from Israel and Arab states: “Everyone understands that Israel is an important ally. What is little discussed is the depth of support from the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and other countries in the region.”
He highlighted the impact on Iran: “It has to be sobering for the Iranian dictatorship to realize that it does not have a single ally willing to challenge the American naval blockade.”
On European involvement: “Slowly, gradually, timidly, our European allies are lining up to help with the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz.”
Gingrich acknowledged coalition constraints on faster action: “If this were a unilateral American campaign I could enthusiastically support a more aggressive kinetic campaign. However it is also clear it would shatter the coalition because our Arab allies are convinced Iran could still do enormous damage to their oil fields and infrastructure.”
He concluded: “I am as frustrated as everyone else by the pace of talking with the dictatorship but having reviewed the correlation of forces... I am prepared to assert that President Trump’s coalition leadership... is within reach of an enormous historic victory.”
Gingrich ended: “Either way we are on the edge of an astonishing victory for our values and for a safer Middle East.”
The comments reflect ongoing U.S. efforts to secure navigation freedom and prevent Iranian nuclear weapons.
