President Donald Trump said the Iran conflict is “very close to over,” expressing optimism that a diplomatic resolution could be reached amid a two-week ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran.
On Wednesday, Trump expressed during an interview on “Mornings with Maria” with Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo that peace in the Middle East may be closer than we think.
“I think its close to over, yeah.
I view it as very close to over,” he told Bartiromo.

On Monday, Vance commented that despite the lack of agreement, U.S. officials and Iranian officials had made “a lot of progress” during their meeting.
He claimed that what happens next in the conflict ultimately rests in Iran’s hands.
“The ball is very much in their court.
You ask what happens next, I think the Iranians are going to determine what happens next,” Vance told Fox News.
VICE PRESIDENT VANCE says the ball is in Iran's court after peace talks collapsed: "We made very clear, look, these are the things that we're willing to give, but these are the things that we must have.
