US President Donald Trump says he hopes the war involving Iran is approaching its end, while conflict continues into its seventh month with no immediate resolution in sight.
Trump’s remarks arrive alongside reporting that he is expected to meet Gulf leaders on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York next week to discuss the conflict. One outlet reports the discussion is expected to focus on the United States’ plans for a postwar strategy. Another source notes the broader timing of the comments, highlighting that the fighting has no clear endpoint as the conflict continues and that the situation unfolds ahead of the US midterm elections.
Across the reports, the key points are Trump’s stated hope for an end to hostilities, the ongoing duration of the conflict, and the prospect of engagement with Gulf partners at the UN gathering—though outlets differ on emphasis, with one focusing on anticipated postwar planning and another on the political calendar.
