US President Donald Trump says the war in Iran is almost over and that the conflict can be stopped whenever he decides. He repeated the same claim in a recent media interview. Trump said their targets in Iran had already been achieved and that the objectives were completed much earlier than expected. However, there are growing indications that the war may not end as easily as Trump suggests. Many observers believe the end of the conflict is no longer in the hands of the United States but depends largely on Iran. Despite suffering heavy losses in the joint attacks carried out by the United States and Israel, Iran has not backed down and is continuing its counter-attacks. In particular, Iran has been targeting US bases and American companies located in the United Arab Emirates. At the same time, warnings have reportedly been issued to major American IT companies as well, indicating that Iran may adopt an even tougher stance against the United States.
Meanwhile, a suicide boat attempted to attack a US vessel in Iraqi waters, but the boat caught fire and was destroyed. The crew on board, however, were rescued. A few days ago, Iran had warned that ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz would be set on fire. As this route is crucial for global oil transportation, Iran’s tough stance immediately pushed crude oil prices higher worldwide. As a result, several countries are now being forced to tap into their oil reserves. This situation has created significant pressure on the United States as well as many other nations. At this time, the conditions recently announced by Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian regarding the end of the war have gained considerable importance.
The most crucial of these conditions is that Iran’s legitimate rights must be recognized. He also demanded compensation and firm international guarantees to ensure that such aggression does not occur in the future. Pezeshkian posted these three conditions on X, stating that Iran would be ready to stop the war only if they are met. He also said Iran remains committed to peace in West Asia and added that the same message has been conveyed to China and Russia. Now, the key question is whether the United States and Israel will accept these demands. Many experts believe Iran is carrying out strategic attacks to increase pressure on the US and Israel.
