On Monday, United States President Donald Trump said the war with Iran was ‘militarily effectively over.’ He spoke after meeting with the Prime Minister of Qatar. Qatar has tried to help end the conflict between the United States and Iran. Trump said the United States would keep the current situation, but forces were ready if anything changed. He did not confirm that fighting had fully stopped.

The main reason for Trump’s statement is that there have been months of threats and some military actions between the United States and Iran. American forces are still near Iran, and the United States continues a naval blockade. This blockade means American ships are stopping goods from going into or out of Iranian ports. Some recent fighting has happened, but no formal ceasefire exists.

The most important result is that the war has not fully ended, but Trump’s words suggest a pause in new attacks. The naval blockade and American troops in the area will continue. Both countries want different things before any agreement, so the conflict is not solved yet.
