Donald Trump, in response to a question about negotiations with Iran, said: “We hope we are close to the end of the war. They want a deal, and Iran desperately wants to reach an agreement.”
Heavy Losses for Iran
Trump claimed that Iran has suffered “heavy losses” and that the United States can reach an agreement with Tehran “whenever it wants.” He also stated that Iran “will not have nuclear weapons and everything there has been destroyed.” These remarks come as tensions between the two countries are rising, and Trump is seeking to create an atmosphere for further negotiations.

Unprecedented Blockade and Consequences
The U.S. President claimed that the Iranian Navy is “at the bottom of the Persian Gulf” and that due to a blockade he described as “unprecedented,” no ships have been able to pass through in recent months. Trump emphasized that the end of the war would lead to a rapid decrease in oil and gasoline prices, which could have widespread economic impacts on global markets.
These statements come as the U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday approved a measure for the third time to compel Trump to end the war with Iran. In this vote, 7 Republican representatives joined the Democrats, indicating increasing pressure on the Trump administration regarding foreign policy. This measure was passed ahead of the November midterm elections and in the last sessions of the House before the elections.
Analysts believe that these developments could lead to fundamental changes in U.S. policies toward Iran and increase the likelihood of new agreements. However, given the history of tensions between the two countries, the future of negotiations still appears uncertain.
