Trump says ‘hopefully we are towards end’ of Iran war
The US president’s comments come as the conflict enters its seventh month with no immediate end in sight ahead of November’s midterm elections.
US President Donald Trump expressed optimism about the potential end of the ongoing war against Iran, stating that he hopes the conflict will soon come to an end during a meeting with Gulf leaders. The US and Israel launched air strikes against Iran in mid-February, leading to retaliatory strikes by Iran on Israel and several Gulf states hosting US military installations.
The war has resulted in thousands of deaths and the displacement of millions. Trump intends to discuss the situation with leaders from the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman, at a meeting in New York next week. The Axios news outlet reported on the likely meeting, citing anonymous sources.
Trump's remarks about the war's potential conclusion come as the conflict enters its seventh month and shows no signs of resolution.
