US will leave Iran within two to three weeks – Donald Trump

US President Donald Trump said the US will be done with its war in Iran “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.”

Despite repeatedly listing four or five objectives for the war, Trump said he “had one goal: They will have no nuclear weapon and that goal has been attained.” He did not explain how he felt that goal had been reached.

He added the US may strike a deal with Iran before the next few weeks are up but said, if not, “We’ll hit some bridges, got a couple of nice bridges in mind. But if they come to the table, that’ll be good.”

Trump also said Washington will have nothing to do with reopening the Strait of Hormuz. His comments come after he criticized US allies for not doing more to help secure shipping in the strait.

Plus, the Iranian foreign minister said in an interview with news network Al Jazeera on Tuesday that Iran had not responded to a 15-point proposal sent by the US to end the war.

Abbas Araghchi said he had received a direct message from US special envoy Steve Witkoff, butdenied the countries were negotiating.
