U.S. President Donald Trump has said that the war with Iran is expected to end soon, but provided no specific timeline or details about how an agreement between the two sides could be reached.
Trump made the remarks during an interview with Kansas City Radio, just days before the November 3 U.S. midterm elections for Congress.
The conflict with Iran and rising fuel prices in the United States remain prominent issues in the country’s political debate.
Trump said Washington was seeking guarantees from Tehran that it would never acquire or be supplied with nuclear weapons.
He also predicted that oil prices would fall rapidly once the war ends, although he did not provide further details to support the forecast.
His comments come amid continued uncertainty over the course of the conflict and the prospects for a negotiated settlement.
While Trump expressed confidence that the war would conclude soon, he did not explain whether negotiations were underway, identify any potential agreement or indicate when hostilities might end.
