He said that it is almost over and that the next 2 days will be crucial. Trump’s statement indicates that a major decision regarding a ceasefire or peace agreement may be taken soon.

Global recession likely due to Iran war – Warning by International Monetary Fund

The International Monetary Fund has warned that if the conflict with Iran escalates further and disruptions in the oil market continue, the global economy could be pushed towards recession. The IMF stated that in the worst-case scenario, global economic growth could decline from the current 3.1 percent to 2 percent.
