Donald Trump believes US-Iran conflict may be nearing its end

The ongoing conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran has had a profound global impact, with significant price hikes for various goods, including gasoline, due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

Recently, there have been indications of progress towards de-escalating this conflict, notably through a US-backed ceasefire agreement. It appears this ceasefire could lead to further positive developments, as President Donald Trump has signaled that the war may be close to concluding.

According to Reuters, Trump commented on the recent ceasefire, suggesting that the current 10-day period might not need to be extended. He stated, “We’ll see what happens. But I think we’re very close to making a deal with Iran.”

Adding to this optimism, it’s reported that Pakistan is actively involved in mediating an agreement between the US and Iran. The indication that “both sides agree in principle” suggests substantial progress is being made.

A key sticking point that appears to be hindering a comprehensive agreement revolves around Iran’s nuclear ambitions. The United States is reportedly seeking a 20-year suspension of nuclear activity, while Iran’s proposal is for a three-to-five-year period.
