US President Donald Trump said the ongoing conflict with Iran could come to an end soon, expressing confidence that the situation is moving in a positive direction. Speaking at an event in Las Vegas, Trump described the war as progressing “very well” and suggested that it “should be ending pretty soon.” His comments come amid ongoing diplomatic efforts and temporary ceasefire arrangements in the region.
The president also indicated that further discussions between US and Iranian officials could take place in the coming days, raising expectations of a potential agreement.
Earlier in the day, Trump said that a temporary ceasefire had been reached in parts of the region, including between Israel and Lebanon. However, tensions remain, with reports of continued military activity despite the truce.
The conflict, which began in late February, has disrupted global energy supplies and raised concerns about economic stability. The Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global oil shipments, has been particularly affected, contributing to volatility in oil prices.
Markets and global leaders are closely watching developments, as any progress in negotiations could ease geopolitical tensions and stabilise energy flows.
Despite the optimistic tone from US leadership, uncertainty remains over how quickly a lasting agreement can be reached and whether ceasefire conditions will hold.
