President Donald Trump said the United States is nearing the end of its conflict with Iran, claiming that Washington has held direct talks with Tehran aimed at winding down the war. The remarks come as the conflict continues to generate strain on US military resources and diplomatic relationships across the region. Trump's comments mark a notable shift in tone from earlier war rhetoric, though details of the alleged direct talks remain unconfirmed by Iranian officials. The claim adds to a flurry of developments tied to the broader Iran war, including reports of US munitions shortfalls and mounting criticism from within Trump's own party over the conflict's costs.
