Trump Backs Vance's Iran War Election Claim, Denies Rift

President Trump has signaled a significant de-escalation in military rhetoric against Iran, stating new attacks are 'quite unlikely' and the military phase is 'effectively over.' This shift follows appeals from Gulf partners and coincides with Qatari-led diplomatic efforts to salvage nuclear talks and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. While the threat of force remains, the immediate risk of US military action has diminished, though a sea blockade against Iran persists.
