Trump promises to withdraw from Iran within two to three weeks
President Donald Trump said American forces will leave Iran within the next two to three weeks
WASHINGTON, United States (MNTV) – U.S. President Donald Trump said American forces will leave Iran within the next two to three weeks, signaling a potential end to the military campaign launched on February 28 and declaring that the administration’s primary objective of preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon has been achieved.
“They will have no nuclear weapons. And that goal has been attained,” Trump told reporters at the White House. When asked about the timeline, he said: “All I have to do is leave Iran, and we’ll be doing that very soon. Maybe two weeks, maybe three.” He estimated it could take Iran “15 to 20 years” to recover its military capabilities.
On the Strait of Hormuz, Trump suggested European nations would need to manage their own energy security after the U.S. departure.
“If France or some other country wants to get oil or gas, they’ll go up through the Strait. They’ll be able to fend for themselves,” he said.
The conflict has killed more than 1,340 people according to Iranian authorities and at least 13 U.S. service members, while disrupting global energy markets and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, Jordan, Iraq and Gulf states hosting American military assets.
