During a Fox News interview, US President Donald Trump declared that the Iran war is 'very close to being over' as the two-week ceasefire agreement approaches its end. He mentioned that peace talks between the US and Iran could resume soon, following stalled discussions in Pakistan. Trump emphasized that while the war might be ending, the US is not finished with Iran, suggesting that if the US withdrew, it would take Iran 20 years to rebuild. He also highlighted the potential nuclear threat from Iran, stating that without US intervention, they could have developed a nuclear weapon by now. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported no signs of Iran expanding its enrichment program, but the future of peace talks remains uncertain, particularly concerning Iran's nuclear ambitions, which have been a major sticking point in negotiations. The first round of talks ended without an agreement, and both sides are expected to engage again soon as Pakistan attempts to facilitate further discussions.
