US President Donald Trump has claimed that the conflict involving Iran could end “very soon,” saying negotiations are progressing and diplomacy still has a chance. Trump also revealed he had paused a planned military strike earlier, but warned that fresh attacks could happen within days if talks fail. Meanwhile, Iran has issued a sharp warning to Washington, saying its armed forces are fully prepared to respond immediately to any new US aggression. Iranian officials stated that their forces are “ready to pull the trigger” and warned that any future strike would face a much stronger retaliation. Vice President JD Vance also said both sides appear interested in avoiding another large-scale military escalation, while negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program continue behind the scenes.
