In a post on social media shortly before speaking to reporters, Trump once again asserted that Middle East allies - Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait and others - "would prefer the status quo." Minutes later, in his exchange with reporters, he sought to assure war-weary Americans that there was "positive momentum" and that he saw a "good chance" that the war "could get ended."
"They're talking to us, and they're talking very politely, And we'll see what happens," Trump said. He added, "The military action doesn't seem to be a very necessary thing, but we're locked and loaded, ready to go for any reason that changes."
Iran President Masoud Pezeshkian has said Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei has issued directives on ending the state of “neither war nor peace” with the US.
Pezeshkian also signalled Tehran’s willingness to engage in diplomatic talks, while making it clear that Iran will not bow to external pressure. He maintained that any dialogue must be conducted on fair and equal footing, without coercion, Iranian news agency ISNA reported.

"The war on Iran has already wrecked the US government. But Washington flails like a desperate gambler," Rezaei wrote on X. "FOLD YOUR HAND. STOP manufacturing FAKE NEWS about imaginary talks. Stop denying the West Asian NEW ORDER. Time to SURRENDER to the seven conditions Iran has repeatedly set out,” Rezaei wrote in a post on X.
US-Iran war LIVE: Trump's changing stance on Iran

Following the meeting, the US President told reporters he believes the war in Iran “militarily is effectively over." He further suggested that — at least for now — he’s not prepared to resume the bombardment that has devastated Tehran and caused reverberations across the global economy, according to AP.
However, Trump has also continued his aggressive rhetoric against Iran, saying the US was "locked and loaded" to launch another operation.
"We're building more weapons right now in our military than we've ever built before. If we have to do the rest of the Iran thing, we're very much locked and loaded," Trump said on Friday.
Speaking to C-SPAN on Tuesday, Trump said the timeline for ending the conflict would depend on developments on the ground and the progress of diplomatic efforts.
"It depends. I mean, we could knock it out fast, or we could knock it out over a short—not a long period of time," Trump said on the Washington Journal Primetime while responding to a question about how long the Iran war would continue.
