Trump Says Iran War Will End Soon, Offers No Details on How
In a radio interview with KCMO, a Kansas City-based radio station, Trump said, "It's going to get wrapped up soon," according to The Times of Israel.
ERBIL (Kurdistan24) – US President Donald Trump said he expects the war with Iran to end soon, offering no details on how an end to the conflict would be achieved.
In a radio interview with KCMO, a Kansas City-based radio station, Trump said, "It's going to get wrapped up soon," according to The Times of Israel.
During the same interview, Trump reiterated that Washington requires assurances that Iran will never obtain a nuclear weapon, maintaining the issue as a key condition for resolving the conflict.
The remarks came as diplomatic efforts intensified to revive negotiations between Washington and Tehran, with Qatar stepping up its mediation efforts.
A Qatari delegation arrived in Tehran on Friday to hold talks with Iranian officials as part of efforts to de-escalate the conflict and create conditions for renewed negotiations.
According to Iran's state-run IRNA news agency, the delegation was headed by a senior adviser to Qatar's prime minister and was scheduled to meet senior Iranian officials to discuss bilateral relations and regional developments.
Qatar has reportedly proposed a seven-day framework involving daily, reciprocal confidence-building measures aimed at reducing regional tensions and paving the way for broader negotiations.
However, significant disagreements remain over the conditions for resuming talks.
Washington insists that Iran's nuclear program must be addressed from the outset of formal negotiations, including allowing UN inspectors to return to nuclear facilities damaged in previous strikes.
Tehran, meanwhile, has demanded that the United States first lift its naval blockade on Iranian ports and ease sanctions restricting Iranian oil exports before considering concessions on its nuclear program.
The opposing demands have complicated diplomatic efforts to establish a framework for renewed negotiations, despite Qatar's ongoing mediation.
