US President Donald Trump, answering reporters’ questions about energy prices globally and in the United States, said he believes the war against Iran will end “fairly soon.” “I don’t think they can hold on much longer,” he said.
“Negotiations are underway, an announcement could be made soon,” added the tycoon speaking in the Oval Office about the negotiations on the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz with Iran. “We control the strait.”
Ghalibaf: “Theatrical diplomacy from Trump”
The Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said Washington had pursued a “failed strategy” and called for a return to previously agreed ceasefire agreements. “Massive attack coming… wait, forget it, they want to negotiate,” Ghalibaf wrote on X, apparently referring to Trump’s decision to call off attacks shortly after vowing to strike Iran. “This is theatrical diplomacy.” “Acknowledge the facts and keep your commitments,” he added.
