Day 105 | Trump says the war with Iran ended today
Section not available
US President Donald Trump said Thursday that significant progress had been made toward a potential agreement with Iran that could help end the conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump described the talks as a “great settlement,” suggesting that Iran’s supreme leader supports the effort and that a final deal could be reached within days. He added that Vice President JD Vance could travel to Europe soon to attend a signing ceremony.
Despite Trump's optimism, Tehran signaled that negotiations remain unresolved. Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson said the country has not made a final decision on any agreement, according to state media. The spokesperson noted that much of the proposed text had already been finalized but criticized Washington for taking shifting positions throughout the negotiation process.
The latest diplomatic developments come amid continued military tensions between the two countries. Earlier Thursday, Trump threatened to seize Kharg Island, a key energy hub that handles about 90 percent of Iran’s crude oil exports. Meanwhile, Iranian officials said their forces targeted US military bases in the region overnight for a second consecutive day, following recent US strikes across Iran.
