US President Donald Trump has said that an agreement aimed at ending the Iran–Israel conflict could be reached within “two or three days,” while stressing that the United States is closely monitoring tensions in the region, including risks linked to the Strait of Hormuz.

Speaking to reporters, as cited by CNN, Trump said discussions between the United States and Iran were continuing even after a reported pause in hostilities between Iran and Israel, suggesting what he described as steady diplomatic progress.

He said he hoped a formal agreement to end the conflict could be finalised within days, adding that any deal would be a signed document rather than an informal understanding.

Trump also said Iran appeared interested in reaching an agreement and that diplomatic efforts were moving forward, though he cautioned that normalisation of relations would not happen immediately even if a deal is reached.

Warning against escalation, he said the United States could carry out significant military strikes but did not want to pursue that option.

He added that prolonged conflict could lead to heavy casualties and disrupt key global shipping routes, including the Strait of Hormuz, which he said could face prolonged closure in a worst-case scenario.

He reiterated that the US position is focused on securing a diplomatic settlement aimed at regional stability rather than expanding military action.
