Trump Claims: Iran War Will Be Over Soon!
US President Donald Trump said the war with Iran will be over soon and the United States will “win,” according to a Fox News report on Sunday. The statement came after Trump canceled plans to send a delegation to Pakistan that had been linked to potential direct talks with Iran.
Trump stated that the latest incident will not deter him from achieving victory, and said Iran can contact the US if it wants to talk. He said communication can be done by phone, and described some of the parties he is dealing with in Iran as “reasonable” while others are not.
In the same statement, Trump also alluded to NATO not supporting the US on Iran. He emphasized that US targets in the talks include the seizure of Iran’s nuclear material, while he hopes Iran will “act intelligently” amid continued pressure.
Trump also took aim at China, saying Beijing “could do more” but that he was not overly disappointed because China “could do much worse.” He also said he would hold talks with Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskiy regarding Ukraine, indicating that the broader US geopolitical agenda remains active as the Iran conflict continues.
The delegation's trip cancellation and the multi-layered statements reinforce the impression that diplomatic channels remain open, but under pressure. Markets typically interpret this as a headline-driven phase, as statements about "wanting to talk" are accompanied by threats and high-demand targets.
Looking ahead, the impact across assets tends to follow the direction of risk and energy inflation: if Trump's comments are interpreted as an opportunity for de-escalation, oil could potentially shed some of its risk premium, and the dollar could lose its safe-haven support. However, if rhetoric escalates or energy supply risks return to focus, oil is likely to remain strong, the dollar remains solid, and gold moves in a tug-of-war between geopolitical hedging demand and pressure from the dollar and interest rate expectations influenced by energy inflation.
