Trump: War with Iran is nearing its end

(Patria) - US President Donald Trump stated that the war with Iran is "very close to the end," echoing similar claims he has made in recent weeks. The US President also asserted that Tehran "desperately" wants to reach an agreement, foreign media report.

"I think it's close to the end. Yes, I think, I believe it's very close to the end," Trump told Fox.

When asked whether the war would end with an agreement or a simple announcement of the destruction of enemy military capabilities, Trump replied that both outcomes were possible.

"It could end either way, but I think an agreement is a better option because it allows them to rebuild," he explained.

"They really have a different regime now. In any case, we have removed the radicals. They are no longer there," he added.

He then added: "You know, if I were to withdraw now, it would take them 20 years to rebuild the country. And we are not done yet. But we will see what happens. I think they desperately want to reach an agreement."

Trump also hinted that US-Iranian negotiations could continue, telling the New York Post that "something could happen in the next two days." The first round of negotiations, held last weekend in Pakistan, ended without a resolution.

Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance stated yesterday at an event at the University of Georgia that Trump wants to reach a "great deal" with Tehran. The US Vice President also said he has a "very good feeling about our current position."
