Trump Claims Iran War Near End Amid Ongoing Tensions
Donald Trump repeatedly asserted that the Iran war would be over 'soon' between March 9 and May 7, 2026, despite no resolution in sight. A 14-point memorandum from Tehran demands a uranium enrichment moratorium in exchange for sanctions relief. Tehran and Washington remain at odds over the conflict's trajectory.

Donald Trump again says the Iran war will be over "soon"... The US president has said this in some way, shape or form a number of times in recent days.Yet, there's still no solution on the horizon in the Middle East. March 9: Trump said the war was “very complete, pretty much.” March 24: He reportedly said the U.S. and Israel had “won” the war. April 14: In a Fox Business interview, Trump said the war was “very close to being over.” April 16: CBS reported Trump again saying the conflict was “very close to over.” May 1: In a letter to Congress, he declared the hostilities had “terminated.” May 7:Trump said there was a “very good chance” the war was nearing an end and spoke optimistically about peace negotiations. This Thursday, there is word of a 14 point memorandum under consideration by Tehran. Key in the demands being made by Washington is a moratorium on Iran's enrichment of uranium. In return there'd be a lifting of sanctions against Iran and an unfreezing of assets.
