President Donald Trump has signalled that the US-Iran war could end soon, saying further US military action against Tehran does not appear necessary “at this point” as diplomatic efforts continue.
Trump said US forces remain “locked and loaded” and ready to act if circumstances change, while Washington continues its naval blockade of Iran. The US has also expanded efforts to disrupt Iran’s weapons and financial networks through its land borders.
Iran has likewise signalled an openness to negotiations but continues to demand an end to the US blockade, sanctions relief and a halt to US attacks. Washington has rejected key parts of Tehran’s proposal, leaving major differences unresolved.
The latest developments point to a possible pause in major combat operations rather than an immediate peace agreement, with both sides still holding significant leverage and refusing to give up their core demands.
