Trump says Iran war will end soon amid continued fighting and oil disruption
President Trump stated the US-Israeli war against Iran, launched on February 28, 2026, would end soon without providing a specific timeline. Iran's Revolutionary Guards responded that they would determine when the war ends. The conflict has disrupted global oil supplies, sent prices to near four-year highs, and prompted diplomatic efforts including a Trump-Putin call and a proposed French-led escort mission for the Strait of Hormuz.
