Trump says war on Iran could be 'ending fairly soon', but warned that US is 'locked and loaded'

US President Donald Trump suggested that the war on Iran could end "fairly soon", but warned that the US is militarily "locked and loaded".

"We’re seeing momentum toward the end of this conflict. I think it’s going to be ending fairly soon," he said during a news conference. 

Trump expressed that Tehran was "talking very politely", but reiterated that its forces are ready to strike. 

"I don’t guarantee anything. But if we do have to go back in, we are locked and loaded and ready to go," the US president said.
