Iran War Day 48: Trump Says “War Nearly Over” + Markets Hit Record Highs + Australia Refinery Fire

Trump says the Iran war is “very close to over” as the White House signals confidence in a deal. Pakistan’s army chief heads to Tehran with a direct message from Washington, while Prime Minister Sharif tours Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey to build support for a second round of talks.

On Day 48 of Operation Epic Fury, the diplomatic track is accelerating fast. The first round of negotiations came close — reportedly “eighty percent” complete — but stalled on the final decisions only Tehran can authorise. Now, the next forty-eight hours could determine whether a deal is within reach before the ceasefire expires.

Meanwhile, markets are making a bold call. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq hit record highs, erasing all war losses — signalling confidence that a resolution is coming even as oil remains elevated.

But the global system is showing strain. A major fire at Australia’s largest refinery threatens fuel supply at a critical moment, highlighting how the Strait of Hormuz disruption is rippling far beyond the battlefield.

In this episode:
– Trump’s prediction of a breakthrough within days
– Pakistan’s central role in US–Iran backchannel diplomacy
– Why the first talks failed — and why the second could succeed
– The economic pressure of the blockade and secondary sanctions
– China’s shifting position
– The Australian refinery fire and global energy fragility
– What markets are pricing in — and what they might be getting wrong

Six days remain on the ceasefire clock. The next move is Tehran’s.
