Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) says securing a deal to end the conflict involving Iran could take “a very long time.” In a Sunday interview, Issa responded to questions about when hostilities would be “officially” over, noting that reaching an agreement is not immediate. The comments are tied to a ceasefire that is currently in place, which was referenced during the discussion.
According to the reports, Issa frames the timeline uncertainty as a function of the bargaining process rather than a specific near-term target date. Mediaite adds that Issa links the slow pace to leverage considerations under President Donald Trump’s approach, though both outlets present the same core message: a negotiated end to the war could require extended negotiations.
The reports do not provide new policy details, specific milestones, or formal negotiations dates. Instead, they focus on Issa’s assessment that concluding an Iran-related peace arrangement may take longer than some observers expect.
