Washington 24 April 2026 (The Capital Post) – US President Donald Trump has stated that there is no fixed timeline for ending the ongoing conflict with Iran, as global attention turns to the possibility of renewed peace talks aimed at easing tensions and stabilising energy markets.
Trump said there is “no time pressure” to conclude the war, emphasising that any agreement would only be pursued if it aligns with US interests, even as a temporary ceasefire remains in place to allow diplomatic efforts to continue.
The remarks come as uncertainty surrounds the next round of negotiations, with no clear indication of when formal talks will resume. Analysts say the lack of urgency from Washington reflects a strategic approach to maintain leverage while assessing Iran’s position.
Meanwhile, tensions remain high across the region, particularly around the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil transit route, where disruptions have contributed to rising energy prices and heightened economic concerns worldwide.

Efforts to secure a lasting agreement have been complicated by ongoing military activity and mutual accusations of ceasefire violations, raising doubts over the durability of the current truce and the prospects for meaningful progress in negotiations.
Despite the fragile ceasefire, global stakeholders continue to monitor developments closely, with hopes that renewed diplomatic engagement could help prevent further escalation and bring greater stability to the region.-The Capital Post
