President Donald Trump stated the U.S. could conclude its military conflict with Iran within two to three weeks. He told reporters the goal of eliminating Iran’s nuclear threat has been attained and that the U.S. would soon leave. This follows escalating tensions and a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
President Donald Trump said the United States could be wrapping up its war with Iran soon. He indicated this could happen within the next month.
“I would say that within two weeks, maybe two weeks, maybe three,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “We’ll leave because there’s no reason for us to do this.” The conflict has been escalating since the U.S. and Israel initiated strikes against Iran in February.
Trump stated the U.S. has accomplished its goal regarding Iran’s military capabilities. “We have had regime change … I had one goal: they will have no nuclear weapons and that goal has been attained,” he said.
“We’re finishing the job, and I think within maybe two weeks, maybe a couple of days longer to do the job, but we want to knock out every single thing they have,” he added. This statement was made in the Oval Office.
Trump earlier told aides he is willing to end the military campaign even with the Strait of Hormuz remaining mostly closed. This was according to a report by the Wall Street Journal.
