US President Donald Trump has again said the war with Iran will end “very soon.” His remarks come as fighting and tensions in the region continue. Trump said the Houthis do not want to fight the US. He also said Iran was “probably” behind a recent Saudi pipeline attack. Trump had earlier linked the end of the war to the US midterm elections on November 3. Meanwhile, tensions around the Strait of Hormuz remain high. Shipping through the key route has fallen sharply. Oil prices have also risen above $100 a barrel. Major issues between Washington and Tehran remain unresolved.
