President Donald Trump says the war with Iran is “nearly over,” but his latest remarks suggest the conflict may still see further military escalation before any clear conclusion.

In his recent address, Trump said the United States is close to achieving its main objectives in the conflict. At the same time, he warned that Iran could face “extremely hard” strikes in the coming weeks.

His statement presents a mixed picture.

On one side, Trump’s comments indicate that Washington believes its campaign is approaching a key stage. On the other, the warning of further strikes shows that tensions remain high and the situation is not yet fully resolved.

For now, the conflict appears to remain in a sensitive phase, with uncertainty still surrounding how events may unfold in the near term.

What happens next will likely depend not only on political statements, but also on developments on the ground in the days ahead.
