President Donald Trump‘s special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, admitted on live television that he does not know how or when the war in Iran will end. This directly contradicts Trump’s recent claim that the conflict is “very complete.” The admission came just a day after the U.S. military reported sinking 16 Iranian mine-laying ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
Witkoff was asked by host Sara Eisen on CNBC’s Squawk on the Street about how he sees the war ending. His response was straightforward: “I don’t know, Sara.” He did, however, warn Iran, saying, “President Trump is the wrong guy to go up against. He has drawn a red line, and that is that Iran cannot have a [nuclear] weapon.”
