Trump says a 'great deal' with Iran will end the war

ALBAWABA - U.S. President Donald Trump told CNBC that the war with Iran will end with a "great deal" between Washington and Tehran.

Trump noted that he believes Washington is "going to end up with a great deal" with Iran to end the weeks-long war, CNBC reported.

About an hour ago, the president announced via Truth Social that Iran has broken the ceasefire deal multiple times. He wrote on Tuesday, "Iran has violated the cease fire numerous times!"

The war in Iran started on February 28 when the United States and Israel launched a surprise attack targeting Tehran and killing the country's former Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

On March 7, Trump announced a two-week ceasefire deal with Iran, and the deadline ends April 21-22, with world leaders anticipating whether the truce will be extended or collapse and the war would resume if peace talks in Pakistan's Islamabad fail to reach a breakthrought.

A new round of talks is expected this week. However, Iran said it hasn't made any decision regarding its participation in the peace negotiations, triggering fears that the truce will collapse and the war will resume.
