Donald Trump has said the United States will end its military operations in Iran “very soon,” suggesting a withdrawal timeline of two to three weeks, even as questions linger over Washington’s broader strategy.Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Trump indicated that US forces were close to completing their objectives.“Now we’re finishing the job. I think in two weeks or maybe a few days longer, we’ll do the job. We want to knock out everything they’ve got,” he said.Trump’s latest remarks add to a pattern of shifting timelines and unclear objectives regarding the conflict.The US president has repeatedly claimed that American forces have significantly degraded Iran’s military capabilities, at times referencing ambitions tied to “regime change,” while also signaling a rapid withdrawal.Analysts say the evolving messaging reflects uncertainty over the actual state of Iran’s military capacity, Washington’s long-term goals in the region and the feasibility of a quick exit without a formal agreement.Trump also linked the planned withdrawal directly to global oil prices, arguing that a US exit would stabilize markets.“All I have to do is leave Iran – and we’ll be doing that very soon. Then prices will come tumbling down,” he told reporters.The comments come amid heightened volatility in global energy markets, largely driven by tensions around the Strait of Hormuz—a critical النفط shipping route through which a significant portion of the world’s oil supply passes.In a notable shift, Trump suggested that responsibility for securing the Strait of Hormuz should fall to other nations.“That’s not for us … That’ll be for whoever’s using the strait,” he said.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.Despite the confident tone, Trump’s timeline remains tentative, with phrases like “maybe a few days longer” underscoring the fluid nature of the situation.No formal ceasefire or diplomatic agreement has been announced, raising questions about how and when the conflict will ultimately end.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—and what comes next.
