President Donald Trump has issued a fresh warning to Iran, saying the war will end very soon, either through a deal with Tehran or further U.S. military action. Trump also expressed confidence that Washington has achieved a significant military victory and that the conflict is nearing its end.
In an interview with the television network RSBN, Trump expressed confidence in what he described as a major American military victory and indicated that the United States was prepared to bring the conflict to an end.
“We have achieved such a great victory, and we will get it over with very quickly, one way or another. Either they will make a deal, or we will get it over with,” the president said.
The statement leaves Iran facing a choice between pursuing an agreement and potentially confronting renewed American military operations. However, Trump did not specify what steps his administration would take if diplomatic efforts fail to produce an acceptable outcome.
His comments come as Iranian officials and Qatari mediators continue discussions in Doha, where efforts are underway to establish the conditions for resuming direct negotiations between the United States and Iran.
Trump Signals That a Deal Remains Possible
Trump’s latest remarks reinforce his administration’s public position that diplomacy remains an option, even as Washington maintains pressure on Tehran.
The absence of specific details leaves important questions unanswered, including what concessions Washington expects from Tehran and whether both sides can agree on a framework that addresses their competing demands.
For now, the diplomatic discussions in Qatar appear to offer a potential route toward reducing tensions without another round of fighting.
Iran Has Yet to Make a Final Decision
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has confirmed that consultations are continuing, but he indicated that no final decision has been reached regarding the proposal currently under consideration.
Araghchi has also emphasized that Iran is prepared for either a diplomatic solution or a military confrontation. This position reflects Tehran’s intention to keep both options open while the discussions continue.
The two governments therefore appear to be maintaining pressure on each other while leaving room for negotiations. Whether that approach leads to an agreement will depend on the proposals being discussed and the willingness of both sides to accept the outcome.
The ongoing discussions in Doha highlight Qatar’s role as an intermediary in efforts to bring Washington and Tehran back to direct negotiations.
According to the reported developments, Iranian officials and Qatari mediators have been meeting for a third consecutive day in an attempt to advance a proposal that could create the conditions for renewed talks between the two countries.
Mediation can provide both sides with an opportunity to communicate their positions, explore possible compromises and assess whether an agreement is achievable. It can also help clarify disagreements before officials commit to formal negotiations.
However, continued consultations do not necessarily mean that a breakthrough is imminent. Araghchi’s confirmation that no final decision has been made indicates that important questions remain under discussion.
The coming days could therefore prove significant in determining whether the diplomatic initiative gains momentum or encounters further obstacles.
Trump Rules Out New Strikes Before Midterm Elections
Despite his warning that the conflict will end soon, Trump has said he does not plan to order new attacks against Iran before the U.S. midterm elections scheduled for November 3.
That statement provides an important qualification to his threat of further military action. While the president has not ruled out renewed operations, his comments indicate that he does not intend to launch additional strikes during the period leading up to the elections.
Nevertheless, the absence of an immediate plan for new attacks does not mean the military option has been abandoned.
Trump has left open the possibility of resuming operations if negotiations fail to produce an agreement with Tehran. This means the diplomatic process could have significant implications for what happens after the election period.
His position also places greater importance on the progress of the discussions in Doha. If the mediators succeed in bringing the two sides closer together, the negotiations could offer a way to avoid another escalation. If they fail, the possibility of renewed military action could remain on the table.
