As the stalemate continues between the U.S. and Iran with no signs indicating an end to the crisis entering a new day on Saturday, U.S. President Donald Trump emphasized that the war with Iran will end soon, confirming that he is considering whether to take further military actions against Tehran.

He told reporters yesterday, Friday, that Americans are willing to pay an additional cost on fuel prices to ensure that Iran does not possess nuclear weapons.

In an interview with News Nation, Trump confirmed that Iran is losing financially and militarily in every way.

When asked about his recent statements that he was considering whether to eliminate Iran, Trump said, "We will see what happens," according to his words.

In developments in the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. Central Command "CENTCOM" announced that U.S. forces have redirected 105 commercial ships since the resumption of the maritime blockade on Iran.

The command explained that its ongoing naval operations in the region have resulted in the redirection of commercial ships, amid continued military operations and tensions in the maritime corridors surrounding Iran.

Diplomatically, officials mentioned that Pakistan is preparing to send another high-level delegation to Tehran, in a new diplomatic effort aimed at breaking the deadlock between Iran and the United States and containing the rapidly escalating tensions between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis in Yemen.

No official confirmation has been issued regarding the planned visit from Islamabad or Tehran. However, a senior government official told the Pakistani newspaper "Express Tribune" that another visit to the Iranian capital is being planned and could take place very soon, according to the newspaper on Saturday.

Sources from the channels "Al Arabiya" and "Al Hadath" reported on Friday that Pakistani Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi will head to Iran in the coming hours. The sources indicated that the Pakistani Interior Minister will discuss the Houthi escalation in Yemen and its implications for regional security in Iran.

The American president has once again hinted at escalating military action to eliminate the Iranian regime, while there are no signs of a near end to the war that has been ongoing for more than six months.

About a month after announcing an "unprecedented economic war" on Iran through a wide-ranging effort to tighten pressure and economic isolation on the Iranian regime, accompanied by a stern warning to countries providing Tehran with a "lifeline" to face dire economic consequences, Trump hinted in statements to Axios on Thursday at the return to military options.

He indicated that he is approaching a "critical turning point" in the war with Iran, where he must make a decision about resuming large-scale attacks in an attempt to end the conflict, saying: "I am about to make a big decision. Do I want to go in and eliminate them (the Iranian regime) or not? It’s a big decision. All options are on the table for me."]

This is not the first time President Trump has announced a shift in the strategy of the war, but it takes on special significance this time in light of the developments that have occurred in the Middle East in recent days, especially the Houthi attacks targeting the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

These developments come after Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued orders for the military to maintain its troop levels in the Middle East until the end of the year, according to U.S. officials, with the aim of remaining on high alert for a potential return to large-scale fighting.
