Trump claims Iran war ending

In a series of interviews and social media posts, President Trump suggested that a breakthrough in negotiations could occur within days, potentially involving a framework to end hostilities.

This optimism coincides with the arrival of a high-level Pakistani delegation in Tehran, aimed at bridging the gap between Washington and the Iranian regime.

However, the administration simultaneously warned of increased economic pressure and secondary sanctions if Tehran remains defiant.

The ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz continues to drive up global energy prices, leaving allies and markets on edge.
