Trump administration officials attend Memorial Day wreath ceremony

Trump administration officials attended a Memorial Day wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery.

President Donald Trump honored the 13 U.S. service members killed during the Iran war as part of the traditional Memorial Day celebration at Arlington National Cemetery, saying they died to ensure Iran “will never have a nuclear weapon.”

“We lost 13 wonderful souls, wonderful, special people,” Trump said on May 25, after laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the Virginia Military Cemetery, just outside Washington, DC.

The annual holiday commemorating slain U.S. service members comes as the war in Iran nears the three-month mark and Trump touts progress in turning a six-week ceasefire into a permanent peace deal.

In addition to the 13 deaths, the war cost the United States at least $29 billion and significantly disrupted global energy supplies, straining economies and driving up gas prices and overall inflation. Polls show that most Americans oppose the war.

Trump said the sacrifice was worth it to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear bomb. He stressed Monday that he was determined to prevent a nuclear-armed Iran.

“They will never have nuclear weapons,” the president said during his speech at the ceremony to a crowd of veterans and family members of slain soldiers, including the family of a soldier who died in the Iran war.

The nuclear issue was raised in negotiations aimed at ending a war that began on February 28. Trump is also pushing to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, through which about 20% of the world’s oil is shipped.

Trump suggested on Saturday (May 23) that a peace deal was imminent, but then said he had told his negotiators not to rush.

“Negotiations with the Islamic Republic of Iran are progressing well! It will only be a good deal for all or no deal at all,” Trump said on social media on May 25.

Trump was joined at Arlington National Cemetery by Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine.
