U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday that the war in Iran will \u201cend very soon,\u201d a statement that rattled global markets but also offered a measure of reassurance after days of escalating violence in the Middle East. His remarks came as Tehran launched fresh missile attacks and threatened to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed, a move that has disrupted oil shipments and driven prices higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump spoke at a news conference in Florida, describing the conflict as \u201cshort term\u201d and insisting that Iran lacked the military capacity to sustain prolonged fighting. He pointed to the country\u2019s limited navy and air force, portraying U.S. and allied strikes as decisive. While he did not provide a timeline, he repeated that hostilities would not drag on, language that briefly lifted Wall Street after a day of steep losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Public reaction has been sharply divided. Supporters of Trump\u2019s stance welcomed the promise of a swift conclusion, arguing that markets and regional stability depend on ending the war quickly. Critics, however, warned that his rhetoric could inflame tensions further, especially after Iran\u2019s new leadership under Mojtaba Khamenei vowed to resist foreign intervention. In Tehran, state media dismissed Trump\u2019s comments as propaganda, while in Gulf capitals, officials expressed concern that the closure of Hormuz could persist despite U.S. assurances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
International observers noted that Trump\u2019s remarks were aimed not only at calming investors but also at projecting confidence to domestic audiences. Analysts cautioned that while the president\u2019s words may ease short-term fears, the absence of concrete details leaves uncertainty about how and when the conflict might truly end. Oil traders, shipping companies, and regional governments remain on alert, watching both Washington and Tehran for signs of escalation or compromise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Key takeaway:<\/strong> Trump\u2019s vow that the Iran war will \u201cend very soon\u201d underscores his effort to reassure markets and allies, but reactions across the Middle East and beyond reveal deep skepticism about whether the conflict can be contained quickly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday that the war in Iran will \u201cend very soon,\u201d a statement that rattled global markets but also offered a measure of reassurance after days of escalating violence in the Middle East.
