Trump Announces US Military Withdrawal from Iran in 2-3 Weeks
President Donald Trump has announced that the United States is prepared to pull out of Iran in the coming weeks following the successful completion of critical military goals, including neutralizing nuclear capabilities.
President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that the United States military operations in Iran are nearing completion and could conclude within a timeframe of two to three weeks.
Speaking to members of the press at the White House on Tuesday, Trump stated, "We'll be leaving very soon."
Military operations in Iran have been underway since February when hostilities intensified after the US and Israeli forces conducted strikes on Iranian targets, prompting Iran to launch retaliatory strikes on multiple countries in the surrounding region.
During his Tuesday remarks, Trump indicated that the United States has successfully achieved most of its military objectives, stating that his objective to eliminate Iran's nuclear threat "has been attained."
"We're finishing the job, and I think within maybe two weeks, maybe a couple of days longer to do the job, but we want to knock out every single thing they have," he said.
According to reporting by the Wall Street Journal, Trump has previously informed his advisors that he is prepared to conclude military operations in Iran even if the Strait of Hormuz continues to be largely shut down.
This is a developing story, and further information will be added as it becomes available.
