Donald Trump claims the conflict will end soon.
Amidst the fierce standoff with Iran, US President Donald Trump stated, “I initiated a very necessary action against the Islamic Republic of Iran. It was a necessary move because they cannot be allowed to possess nuclear weapons.” He further added, “I believe the conflict is nearing its end; I don’t think they can hold out for much longer.”
He said, “We are attacking them. I would prefer to reach an agreement because I do not want to take lives.” He also mentioned that they were prepared for the largest attack since World War II. “They called me and asked, ‘Please don’t do this; let’s talk.’ Later, they claimed they never said that. They respect us. Iran cannot possess nuclear weapons.”
Draft agreement also surfaces
A draft of a potential agreement between the US and Iran has emerged. However, tensions persist in the Strait of Hormuz. The tension is expected to subside once both nations reach an accord. According to Qatari officials, discussions regarding a draft agreement between the US and Iran are underway, and the process is moving forward. They emphasised that this aims for a short-term diplomatic solution.
Timeline of the ongoing tension
An intense conflict between the US and Iran has been ongoing for approximately six months. Temporary peace was indeed established at times, but tensions continued to escalate due to the lack of mutual agreement. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had passed away. As for ceasefires, a two-week ceasefire took place in April 2026, followed by another brief ceasefire in June 2026.
Iran Disrupting the Strait of Hormuz
It is worth noting that the Iranian military is persistently attempting to disrupt the movement of vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. This is causing disruptions to the trade supply chains of several nations. The US military is also standing firm in the region, countering Iran’s actions; its objective is to ensure the smooth flow of maritime traffic.
