Trump Says US Will ‘Win’ Iran War Soon, Leaves Door Open to Strikes Before Midterms

Trump said U.S. officials are still talking with mediators as he predicted lower gasoline prices and said the conflict could end quickly.

  • On Sunday, President Donald Trump told Fox News he expects to win the war against Iran "very soon," while acknowledging that fresh military strikes ahead of the US midterm elections are "possible."
  • Tensions escalated after Trump rejected Iran's seven-day proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for resuming nuclear talks, signaling the plan did not meet US expectations.
  • Trump cited inflation of 318% as evidence that the US is succeeding in "Operation Economic Outcast," claiming Iran's economy is "completely dismantled" while stressing nuclear deterrence remains central.
  • Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi responded that Tehran remains prepared for a "doomsday war," criticizing the US rejection while reiterating that Iran seeks the release of frozen assets to end hostilities.
  • Distinguished Fellow Barbara Slavin describes the indirect contacts, mediated by Qatar, as "kabuki diplomacy," noting that despite mutual willingness to negotiate, meaningful breakthroughs remain elusive as both sides maintain hardline positions.
