President Donald Trump said he believes the war with Iran will end "really soon," according to a report Thursday evening. The remark intensifies his earlier Thursday night statement that the war would end "soon."
President Donald Trump said Thursday evening that the war with Iran will end "really soon," according to a report. The quote, delivered in Hebrew, uses the intensifier "ממש בקרוב," a stronger formulation than his earlier statement that the war would end "soon."
The Zioneer tracked three Trump statements on the war this evening. At 23:30 Jerusalem, initial reports quoted Trump saying the war would end "quite soon" and that the U.S. has an "endless" ammunition stockpile. Minutes later, at 23:38 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported Trump's softer statement: "I think the war with Iran will end soon." Now, a new report quotes Trump with the stronger "really soon," escalating the timeline within the same evening.
Over the past two months, The Zioneer has covered Trump's shifting rhetoric on the Iran conflict. On June 9, he told Sky News he did not think Israel would renew the war. On June 12, he declared the war "finished" and claimed Iran agreed to never possess nuclear weapons. On June 23, Trump said the war would end soon if Iran respects the U.S. In July, Trump stated Iran would be defeated "very soon" and later said the U.S. has "pretty much destroyed" Iran's military.
The new remark comes amid ongoing diplomatic efforts between Washington and Tehran, though no final agreement has been publicly finalized. Israeli concerns regarding the terms of any emerging deal, particularly on Iran's nuclear capabilities and regional proxies, remain as previously reported by The Zioneer.
