  President Donald Trump has suggested that the United States is “very close” to winding down its military campaign in Iran, even as the conflict continues to escalate across the region. Speaking to reporters, Trump said the U.S. could end its operations within “two to three weeks,” emphasizing that Iran does not need to agree to a deal for the war to conclude.

Stalemate in Gaza Negotiations: Hopes for Ceasefire Dim


Efforts to restore peace in Gaza have hit another roadblock, as the latest round of talks in Cairo concluded without any significant progress. Egyptian and Palestinian sources revealed that Hamas remains firm in its stance, demanding that any agreement must lead to an end to the ongoing conflict. Meanwhile, Israel has reiterated its position that the war will continue until Hamas is completely dismantled.

Despite the impasse, there were glimpses of potential compromise. Hamas reportedly showed some flexibility regarding the number of hostages it might release in exchange for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel. However, the militant group has requested guarantees that Israel will engage in discussions for the next phase of the ceasefire agreement, which aims to end the war.

The situation in Gaza remains dire, with intensified Israeli airstrikes causing widespread devastation. Civilians are bearing the brunt of the conflict, as rescue workers struggle to recover bodies from the rubble of destroyed buildings. The humanitarian crisis continues to deepen, leaving the population in desperate need of relief.

The international community watches closely, hoping for a breakthrough that could pave the way for lasting peace in the region. For now, the stalemate persists, and the path to resolution remains uncertain.
