PANews reported on April 1st that, according to Jinshi, US President Trump stated that he expects the US to end its war against Iran within two to three weeks, implying that the US has essentially achieved its military objectives and leaving the resolution of the Strait of Hormuz issue to other countries. Trump told reporters at the White House on Tuesday, "I'd say within two weeks, maybe two weeks, maybe three weeks. We'll leave because we have no reason to continue doing this." Trump suggested that an agreement with the US could still be reached during this period. He said, "We're getting the job done, I think in about two weeks, maybe a few more days, we'll get the job done, but we're going to destroy everything they have. Now, it's possible we'll reach an agreement before then because we're going to hit bridges—we've already hit some, and we still have a few good bridges in mind. But if they're willing to sit down at the negotiating table, that would be a good thing." Trump also claimed that the US could end the war without an agreement with Iran. "When we feel they've been forced back to the Stone Age and can't build nuclear weapons, we'll leave, whether we reach an agreement or not."
