President Donald Trump has indicated that the war with Iran will soon come to an end, while emphasizing the need for a solid guarantee to permanently prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
In an interview with KCMO radio in Kansas City, Missouri, on October 30, Trump stated regarding the Iran conflict, "It will be over soon," adding, "We need guarantees that there will absolutely be no nuclear weapons."
However, he did not specify any concrete plans or timelines for concluding the war. He reiterated his stance that a definitive assurance against Iran's nuclear weapons development and possession is a prerequisite for any peace negotiations.
The U.S. military pressure on Iran continues. Trump has previously stated that he would not attack Iran before the U.S. midterm elections on November 3. However, he has hinted at the possibility of a large-scale attack on Iran after the elections.
In fact, U.S. forces have recently deployed additional air defense systems and munitions to the Middle East and have reportedly repositioned some troops from bases vulnerable to Iranian retaliation. This is interpreted as a move to prepare for potential military responses following the midterm elections.
Nonetheless, the U.S. is also seeking diplomatic solutions alongside military pressure. Vice President JD Vance has reportedly sent a letter to Iran proposing to resume negotiations through mediation from Qatar. This reflects a dual approach of increasing military pressure while simultaneously seeking an exit through renewed talks.
