Trump: Iran War 'Very Close to Over'; Second Talks Round Expected 'in Days'

| United States

President Trump told reporters on April 15 that the Iran war was 'very close to over' and predicted the US stock market 'is going to boom' after a deal is reached. In a CBS News phone interview, Trump said Iran had 'agreed to everything' on uranium enrichment, while a White House official separately described prospects for a new deal as 'good' — though Trump had not yet formally extended the ceasefire beyond its April 21 expiry. The Pentagon confirmed the Hormuz naval blockade was 'fully implemented.' Trump said a second round of talks could happen 'in days,' maintaining pressure on Tehran while leaving a diplomatic off-ramp open.
