Can the Iran war really end in weeks? Trump thinks so

Is a ceasefire in sight?

The arrival of April seems to have changed the US narrative in the war against Iran that began on February 28.

From military parade to global conflict

What was supposed to be a quick and easy war for the United States and Israel has turned into a real military, economic, and image nightmare for the Trump Administration.

Will the United States leave Iran?

So much so, that Donald Trump announced, in statements to CBS News, that the United States will withdraw from Iran "in two or three weeks".

Non-negotiable condition of the United States

The US president has conditioned this decision on being certain that the Iranian regime will not be able to manufacture a nuclear weapon for years.

Wanting to reach an agreement?

In true Donald Trump style, the president asserted that "Iran is eager to reach an agreement, whether or not it materializes is irrelevant to the United States' timeline."

Pointing to other countries

In his speech, Donald Trump expressed his frustration that other countries had not sent military resources to support his war.

The troop withdrawal will come

However, he cautioned that he has no plans to withdraw his forces from the conflict yet. "At some point I will, but not yet," the US president stated.

Blaming the 'allies'

"Countries have to intervene and solve the problem. Iran has been devastated, but they will have to intervene and do their own job," said Donald Trump, referring to the countries that have denied him support in this war.

Resentful of the refusals

"If they're having trouble getting oil, let them come and get it, as is their right. They didn't want to help anyone. NATO is terrible, and everyone in it is terrible. It's time they did something for themselves," he insisted.

When will Operation 'Epic Fury' be complete?

To top off her remarks, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt also told CBS News that "when Operation 'Epic Fury' is complete, gas prices will fall back to multi-year lows."

Iranian predisposition

For this to happen, the two sides must reach an agreement, and although it seems impossible, Tehran has shown a willingness to do so.

A desire for peace in Tehran

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has said that Tehran has "the necessary will" to end the war.

European intervention

These statements followed Masoud Pezeshkian's meeting with Antonio Costa, President of the European Council, but with one essential condition for their implementation.

Iran's non-negotiable condition

Tehran is willing to make peace, provided there are guarantees that there will be no return to conflict, a condition included in the recent 15-point US peace plan.

Reopening of the Strait

Furthermore, Masoud Pezeshkian reminded Donald Trump that "the Strait of Hormuz will undoubtedly reopen, but not for you," referring to Iran's blockade of this vital maritime route. It's worth noting that the Strait of Hormuz was open before the war.

The threat that has changed the landscape

However, while an agreement is being negotiated, all parties are maintaining their offensives, with the added complication that Iran has implicated 18 major American companies as the next targets of its attacks if Washington does not cease its offensives.

So what now?

In fact, the willingness of Iran and the United States to reach a peace agreement caused stock markets to rise overall after several days of widespread declines and a sustained decline in March.
