U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday (March 10, 2026) pushed the idea of the Iran war ending soon, but remained vague on a timeline for ending the attacks that have rocked West Asia and shaken the global economy.
Markets jumped when Mr. Trump suggested to CBS News that the U.S.-Israeli assault was "very complete," but during a later speech and press conference he offered shifting accounts of what to expect.

"I think soon. Very soon," Mr. Trump told reporters at his Doral National golf club near Miami, Florida, when asked if he thought the war could end in days or weeks. "Everything they have is gone including their leadership."
But Mr. Trump also pressed for what he called "ultimate victory" against Tehran's clerical establishment, which over the weekend picked the son of slain supreme leader Ali Khamenei as its new chief.
