Write a short, clear, factual news headline based on this article:
During a press conference on Monday about the war in Iran, Donald Trump made a series of false claims about Washington’s progress in the conflict, his own past foreign policy, and that his book released in 2000 predicted 9/11.
After correctly mentioning three US fighter planes had been mistakenly shot down by Kuwait at the start of the war, Trump immediately claimed the “only planes” Washington had lost were as a result of “friendly fire.” Considering the very objective of this press conference was the rescue of 2 air personnel whose planes had been shot down by Iran, it’s a direct contradiction to the focus of his briefing.
After discussing his first term actions in Iran, and the killing of General Qassem Soleimani, Trump said he had “did one other.” He repeated a long-debunked claim that he’d not only predicted the September 11 terror attacks in his 2000 book The America We Deserve, but that he pushed for the killing of Osama bin Laden.
But his book shows no evidence supporting either claim. In fact, bin Laden is only mentioned once in passing.
He also exaggerated or repeated falsehoods about his own foreign policy successes:including that he’d “ended eight wars.”
