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