Trump: U.S. Will Win Iran War ‘Very Soon’ as Mediated Talks Continue — ‘One Way or the Other’
President Donald Trump said Monday the war with Iran will end with a U.S. victory “very soon,” declaring the outcome will be decided “one way or the other” as Washington and Tehran remain engaged through mediators over a potential agreement addressing the Strait of Hormuz and Iran’s nuclear program.
After confirming that his team had been in contact with Iran through mediators earlier Monday, Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that he expected the standoff to be resolved quickly.
“We’re going to win,” Trump said. “As far as I’m concerned, it’s going to be one way or the other. And it’s going to go pretty quickly.”
The renewed diplomacy comes days after Trump rejected an Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days in exchange for a series of U.S. concessions, including lifting the naval blockade and easing economic pressure on Tehran.
Speaking to press earlier today, U.S. President Donald J. Trump said that U.S. negotiators have spoken to their Iranian counterparts today, but didn’t elaborate on if any agreements to move forward were reached during the meeting. This comes amidst reports that the nuclear file has become the center of negotiations, with reports stating that the U.S. may be willing to give economic concessions to Iran if they are willing to make progress on shuttering their nuclear program.
