Trump Claims Iran War Could End Soon as Islamabad Peace Talks Collapse

Peace negotiations in Islamabad between the United States and Iran have failed. Vice President JD Vance stated that deep-seated mistrust between the two nations will take a long time to resolve. Following the collapse of these talks, the temporary ceasefire has expired. Senate Democrats are now demanding congressional authorization for any continued military action. President Trump stated that the war could end very soon. This claim comes as military analysts remain skeptical of Tehran's willingness to comply with U.S. demands. The administration continues to face pressure to either secure a lasting peace or seek formal approval from Congress to maintain the conflict.
