Trump Says US 'Hopefully Toward the End' of Iran War

President Trump said the United States is 'hopefully toward the end' of its war with Iran and that he has spoken with Iranian officials 'directly,' while reiterating that the conflict will not fully wind down until after the November midterm elections. The remarks came as a fire-pause on strikes into Iranian territory reached its ninth consecutive day, Iran's flag carrier suspended flights to Turkey and Georgia, and the rial traded near a record low.
