US-Israel-Iran War Latest Live News: The US-Israel-Iran war is about to enter a crucial diplomatic stage as the US and Iran are on the brink of solving their dispute concerning the Strait of Hormuz. President of the United States, Donald Trump has suggested that the war can be brought to an end shortly, but Iran still insists on more guarantees prior to settling the dispute.

The Strait of Hormuz transports nearly one fifth of oil and liquefied natural gas in the world.
US-Israel-Iran War Latest Live News: Trump Signals Possible End to Conflict
US President Donald Trump addressed the media saying he thinks the war can be ended “pretty soon” and a settlement will probably lower gas prices. The statements were made following weeks of threats of military action and speculation on whether negotiations could take place between Tehran and Washington but Iran has refused to admit any talks with Washington, claiming that currently all their communications are being done via Oman when it comes to maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. The US has also been questioned about the military assets available in the region.
Of the war with Iran, he told reporters in the Oval Office: “I think it’s going to end pretty soon. I don’t think they can go much longer.”
He added that he is involved in negotiations with Tehran. “I think we’re doing fine,” Trump said.

The Iranian government has reacted with caution to Trump’s rhetoric, stating that Washington has been inconsistent in its policies. The Speaker of the Iranian parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, criticized what he referred to as consistent threats followed by renewed calls for negotiations while Iran has continued to insist that it is ready for long-term showdown and if needed.
“The fact is it’s more dangerous for US military personnel to operate in the region as a result of these missile shortages. It’s putting strain on other commands in East Asia as well, so the problem is very acute,” Stephens told Al Jazeera.
“‘Massive attack coming … wait, never mind, they want to negotiate.’ That’s theater diplomacy on loop,” Ghalibaf wrote on X.
“Using bullying + broken promises + fake news as leverage is a failed strategy.” He called on the US to “acknowledge the facts” and fulfil its commitments
US-Israel-Iran War Latest Live News: Strait of Hormuz Becomes Key Negotiation Point
The most pressing problem continues to be the re-opening of the Strait of Hormuz. According to shipping statistics, the number of ships using the strategically important waterway has been reduced from 50 in the previous week to 33 between Monday and Thursday. Prior to the escalation of tensions, the strait was transporting about 20% of the world’s oil and LNG. A closure would increase the cost of energy and put even more strain on the global market. It has been reported that there is agreement between Iran and Oman on shipping routes’ coordinates but the dispute is far from being resolved.
US-Israel-Iran War Latest Live News: Can the War Really End Soon?
Despite the repeated efforts by Trump to say that a deal is near, there are fears that a Hormuz deal on its own will not necessarily bring an end to the broader US-Iran conflict. Both parties are still involved in significant disagreements related to security issues, military activities and Iran’s nuclear program.
“Nothing has changed. President Trump has promised to annihilate Iran five or six times and then backs down at the last minute. I think it’s highly doubtful there are talks, that he’s reaching an agreement with Iran on the nuclear issue or the Strait of Hormuz,” Eyre said.

The coming stage of the conflict is contingent on whether diplomacy becomes an alternative to confrontation while a successful Hormuz deal would bring stability to the energy market and ease tensions in the region, a broader peace deal is unlikely. Given that millions of barrels of energy resources are at stake in the region, the ongoing US-Iran conflict extends its impacts much further than the Middle East region.
