Trumps says Iran war is ‘close to over’

The Sky News interview is one of several Donald Trump has given in the past 24 hours, in which he has indicated the war with Iran may be nearing an end.

When asked by Sky whether a deal could happen before King Charles visits the US at the end of the month, Trump said: “It’s possible. Very possible. They’re beaten up pretty bad.”

In an interview with Fox News, which is scheduled to air later this morning, the US president said the Iran war was “close to over, yeah, I mean I view it as very close to over”. In a short preview of the interview posted on social media last night, Trump said: “If I pulled up stakes right now, it would take them [Iran] 20 years to rebuild that country. And we’re not finished.

“We’ll see what happens. I think they want to make a deal very badly.”

The clip came hours after he told the New York Post that another round of peace talks “could be happening over the next two days” in Pakistan.

Trump has previously suggested that the war was ending. In his address to the nation on 1 April, Trump said the war was “nearing completion” and could end in “two or three weeks”.

The Israeli military has issued another order forcing people to flee their homes south of the Zahrani river in southern Lebanon.

“The airstrikes are ongoing as the Israel Defense Forces operate with significant force in the area,” said Avichay Adraee, the Israeli military’s Arabic language spokesperson.

The UN said Israel has issued warnings and displacement orders covering approximately 14% of Lebanon, including the whole region south of the Zahrani river, most of Beirut’s southern suburbs and parts of the Bekaa region. They affect more than 100 towns and villages and have caused the displacement of more than a million people.
