Trump says US will win Iran war ‘very soon’
Trump rejected Iran’s one-week Hormuz reopening plan as Qatar-mediated talks continued and Tehran said it would keep its conditions.
On Monday, President Donald Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that the United States will win the war with Iran "very soon," adding that officials are engaging with mediators to conclude the conflict.
Tensions remain high as Trump rejected Tehran's seven-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, framing the proposal as evidence of weakness; the Foreign Minister insists the country will maintain its conditions.
Washington dismissed claims that an American underwater drone was captured in the Strait, calling the assertion "desperate," while Iran maintains the vital waterway will stay shut until Washington's pressure eases.
Military reports indicate four Iranian drone and missile specialists were killed in Yemen's Taiz province, while authorities arrested five men near RAF Fairford investigating an Iran-linked plot.
Trump predicted that gas prices will come tumbling down after the United States wins the war, while he expects more indirect Qatar-mediated talks this week to potentially resume on Monday.
