Trump: Iran has weakened greatly and the war will end soon On the evening of Wednesday, October 14, United States President Donald Trump said at an election rally in Montana that he is not sure with whom American officials are negotiating in efforts to end the Iran war. Referring to the state of Iran's military forces and talking about this conflict, Trump claimed: "They don't have a navy." They don't have an air force. Their army was destroyed. Their leaders are gone. He then added: "I probably should have left their leaders, because I don't know who the hell we're negotiating with." The American president claimed again that the current war between the US and the Islamic Republic "will end very soon. He also predicted that after the end of the conflict, global energy prices would fall rapidly.
