On March 31, U.S. President Trump told the media while signing an executive order at the White House that the United States may end its military actions against Iran within two to three weeks.
He said: “We’ll be leaving very soon, I think about two to three weeks. We’re leaving because we have no reason to keep doing this.”
Trump pointed out that he had only one goal—that Iran could not have nuclear weapons—“and that goal has been achieved.”
He stated that the U.S. military is completing its final missions, “I think it may be done in two weeks, maybe a few more days to finish.”
He noted that if an agreement is reached with Iran, it could end the conflict even earlier, but the United States can also end the conflict without an agreement: “If they want to sit down and talk, that’s great, but whether they come or not, it doesn’t matter.”
Regarding the resumption of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, Trump said the United States does not have to be responsible for the Strait of Hormuz, “We have nothing to do with that,” “that is the responsibility of all the countries that need to use the strait.”
Important Update to Be Announced on the 2nd
At the same time, the White House announced on March 31 that President Trump will deliver a national address at 9 p.m. U.S. Eastern time on April 1 (9 a.m. Malaysian time on April 2), providing an important update on the Iran issue.
White House Press Secretary Leavitt made the announcement on social media, but gave no further details.
