President Donald Trump has said the United States could end its war with Iran within two to three weeks, even without a formal agreement.
His remarks come as joint US-Israel strikes continue across Iran, targeting key industries such as pharmaceutical firms and steel plants. The ongoing attacks highlight a clear contrast between Washington’s optimism and the reality of an active conflict.
Trump’s statement is driven by a strategy focused on military results rather than diplomacy. He argues that the main goal is to weaken Iran’s military strength and limit its nuclear capabilities. US officials believe recent strikes have already caused significant damage, making it possible to declare success and withdraw quickly.
There is also growing pressure at home. Rising fuel prices and economic concerns are pushing for a shorter war. At the same time, some international partners have shown hesitation, encouraging the US to avoid a long and costly conflict.
On the ground, the situation remains tense. Iran and its allies have continued to respond, raising fears of wider regional instability.
Analysts warn that attacks on industrial sites may slow Iran’s capabilities but could also affect civilians and increase economic hardship. Concerns are also growing about global oil supply and security in key shipping routes.
While Trump signals a quick end, there is still no clear sign of when the fighting will stop, leaving the region in a fragile and uncertain moment.
