- President Trump announced the U.S. could conclude its war with Iran within two to three weeks.
- The declaration follows months of escalating conflict over control of the vital Strait of Hormuz.
- He claims the U.S. objective of removing Iran’s nuclear and major military threats has been achieved.
On Tuesday, March 31, 2026, President Donald Trump told reporters in the White House Oval Office that the United States could be concluding its war with Iran within weeks. “We’re finishing the job, and I think within maybe two weeks, maybe a couple of days longer to do the job,” he stated. He further clarified in another comment that the withdrawal could happen in two or three weeks.
The conflict began escalating in February after U.S. and Israeli strikes against Iran. Consequently, Iran led a blockade of the crucial Strait of Hormuz, a major global oil shipping lane. However, Trump now asserts the primary military goals have been met.
“We have had regime change … I had one goal: they will have no nuclear weapons and that goal has been attained,” he declared. He added that the U.S. aims to “knock out every single thing they have.” This development follows reports earlier from the Wall Street Journal that Trump told aides he is willing to end the campaign even with the strait still mostly closed.
