Trump: Perang Militer AS dengan Iran Sudah Berakhir, Berkat Negosiasi Damai

US Military Operations Against Iran Conclude

United States President Donald Trump announced that the military conflict with Iran is over, citing progress in negotiations to secure a lasting peace in the Middle East, detikNews reported.

Trump delivered the assessment at the White House following a closed-door meeting with US Vice President JD Vance and Qatar’s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani. He maintained that Washington’s primary objective now involves preserving the regional status quo at the direct request of neighboring nations.

Status Quo Maintained Through Naval Blockades

“Securally, Iran can be said to be finished,” Trump told reporters after the talks.

The specialized task force aims to sever Iran’s remaining land and Caspian Sea trade routes. While active military engagement has paused, Trump asserted that American forces remain in a fully combat-ready posture to respond to any sudden shifts in the region.

Tehran Rejects Washington’s Claims

Mohsen Rezaei, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, characterized the statements as desperate gambling and urged Washington to halt what he described as fabricated reports regarding nonexistent diplomatic talks.

Meanwhile, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian emphasized that his country remains open to further negotiations but refuses to yield to external pressure or intimidation.

Economic Strains and Regional Fallout

The conflict began on February 28 when US and Israeli forces launched joint strikes against targets inside Iran. Tehran retaliated with waves of missile and drone attacks targeting Israel as well as US bases and assets in the region, and tightened its grip on the strategic Strait of Hormuz.

CNN Indonesia reported that the prolonged confrontation contributed to rising inflation and domestic economic pressures that impacted recent US midterm elections. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi noted that regional diplomatic mediation efforts stalled following the unexpected political shifts in Washington.
