Trump says Iran war will end "very quickly", oil prices will "come tumbling down"
JD Vance said Washington will not halt the war unless Iran makes a meaningful cut in uranium enrichment as both sides trade peace proposals.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump stated the ongoing war with Iran will end "very quickly," claiming that global oil prices will "come tumbling down" as his administration continues to assert control.

- Vance admitted Washington lacks clarity on how Iran makes decisions, though Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi insisted officials remain serious about using diplomacy to secure national security interests.
