Donald Trump has said the United States will end its military operations in Iran \u201cvery soon,\u201d suggesting a withdrawal timeline of two to three weeks, even as questions linger over Washington\u2019s broader strategy.<\/p>\n
Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Trump indicated that US forces were close to completing their objectives.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow we\u2019re finishing the job. I think in two weeks or maybe a few days longer, we\u2019ll do the job. We want to knock out everything they\u2019ve got,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Trump\u2019s latest remarks add to a pattern of shifting timelines and unclear objectives regarding the conflict.<\/p>\n
The US president has repeatedly claimed that American forces have significantly degraded Iran\u2019s military capabilities, at times referencing ambitions tied to \u201cregime change,\u201d while also signaling a rapid withdrawal.<\/p>\n
Analysts say the evolving messaging reflects uncertainty over the actual state of Iran\u2019s military capacity, Washington\u2019s long-term goals in the region and the feasibility of a quick exit without a formal agreement.<\/p>\n
Trump also linked the planned withdrawal directly to global oil prices, arguing that a US exit would stabilize markets.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll I have to do is leave Iran \u2013 and we\u2019ll be doing that very soon. Then prices will come tumbling down,\u201d he told reporters.<\/p>\n
The comments come amid heightened volatility in global energy markets, largely driven by tensions around the Strait of Hormuz\u2014a critical \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0641\u0637 shipping route through which a significant portion of the world\u2019s oil supply passes.<\/p>\n
In a notable shift, Trump suggested that responsibility for securing the Strait of Hormuz should fall to other nations.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s not for us \u2026 That\u2019ll be for whoever\u2019s using the strait,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The remarks could signal a potential change in US foreign policy, as Washington appears less willing to bear the burden of securing key global trade routes.<\/p>\n
Despite the confident tone, Trump\u2019s timeline remains tentative, with phrases like \u201cmaybe a few days longer\u201d underscoring the fluid nature of the situation.<\/p>\n
No formal ceasefire or diplomatic agreement has been announced, raising questions about how and when the conflict will ultimately end.<\/p>\n
Trump is projecting a swift US exit from Iran within weeks, tying it to both military success and economic outcomes. However, mixed messaging and lack of a clear framework leave significant uncertainty over how the withdrawal will unfold\u2014and what comes next.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
