Trump Says He Doubts Full-Scale War with Iran Will Restart; Claims Contact for Agreement

Donald Trump, the President of the United States, claimed that Iran has expressed willingness to sign an agreement with Washington and said that a “contact” has taken place regarding this matter. Trump also downplayed the likelihood of a full-scale war between the two countries, stating that any potential tensions will soon be resolved.

Trump wrote in a message: “We received a contact, and Iran is very eager to sign a compromise agreement with us.” He did not provide further details about the nature of this contact or the parties involved. Some international observers have interpreted these remarks as an attempt to de-escalate tensions following his harsh statements against the Islamic Republic of Iran yesterday.

These remarks come amid reports of military exchanges between the US and Iran over the past two nights. Officials from both sides have reported strikes targeting each other’s related positions in the region, an event that has raised concerns about the expansion of the conflict.

After the NATO summit in Ankara, Trump told reporters: “I don’t think this war will restart. I think it will end very soon.” He claimed that any escalation of tensions would be quickly contained and would result in “greater security,” including in the oil market.

The US President also reiterated his claim that he is Iran’s “number one target” and added that his life is at risk. So far, this claim has not been officially responded to by Iranian authorities.

Meanwhile, oil prices have risen in global markets. Brent crude oil surged by about 6 percent to $74.50 per barrel. Additionally, the average price for a gallon of regular gasoline in the US has increased to $3.80, showing growth compared to last week.

Analysts say that developments on the ground and statements by officials from both countries could influence energy market trends and the security environment in the region.
