U.S. President Donald Trump stated in an exclusive interview with Maria Bartiromo of Fox News that the military conflict with Iran is nearing its conclusion.<\/h6>\n

Kabul 24<\/a>: He expressed confidence that Iranian officials are highly motivated to reach an agreement, while emphasizing that the United States achieved its primary objective of preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the program, Trump addressed the reason for launching military action: \u201cI had to change course, because if I hadn\u2019t, Iran would have a nuclear weapon right now.\u201d When asked directly whether the war with Iran was over, he replied, \u201cI think it\u2019s close to the end, yes.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s how I see it \u2014 very close to ending.\u201dTrump added that pulling back too soon could require 20 years to rebuild the country, noting, \u201cOur work isn\u2019t finished yet. We\u2019ll see what happens.\u201d However, he stressed optimism about a potential deal, saying, \u201cI believe they are very eager to reach an agreement.\u201dThe remarks come amid a fragile ceasefire and ongoing diplomatic efforts, including indirect talks mediated in Pakistan.<\/p>\n

Trump highlighted that U.S. strikes had significantly degraded Iran\u2019s military capabilities, particularly its naval forces and nuclear-related sites, leaving Tehran in a weakened position and more inclined toward negotiations.In the interview, Trump reiterated that the core U.S. goal \u2014 ensuring Iran never obtains nuclear weapons \u2014 has been largely accomplished.<\/p>\n

He warned that any retreat without strong guarantees could prove to be a major strategic mistake, while keeping the door open for a swift resolution if Iran complies with key demands.Analysts view these comments as a mix of declaring military success and extending an olive branch for diplomacy.<\/p>\n

Markets have reacted with volatility to the news, with oil prices fluctuating based on prospects of de-escalation in the Strait of Hormuz and broader Middle East stability.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s<\/a> statements were made during a phone interview on \u201cSunday Morning Futures,\u201d where he also discussed broader economic and international implications of the conflict. Full details of the conversation are expected to air soon, providing further insight into the administration\u2019s endgame strategy for Iran and its potential impact on global energy markets and U.S. foreign policy.<\/p>\n

This development signals a possible shift from active military operations toward a negotiated settlement, though Trump made clear that the U.S. remains prepared to maintain pressure if needed. Observers will closely monitor Iranian responses and any follow-up talks in the coming days.<\/p>\n
