Trump Says War Could Be Coming To An End Soon

Speaking to reporters at the White House on Tuesday, President Donald Trump said the U.S. could end its military campaign against Iran within two to three weeks.
Trump emphasized that recent operations have significantly disrupted Iran’s missile-making capabilities. “We're hitting them very hard. Last night we knocked out tremendous amounts of missile-making facilities, as you probably read or wrote,” he said. “We'll hit bridges and we've hit some, we'll hit some bridges, and we've got a couple of nice bridges in mind. But if they come to the table, that'll be good. But it doesn't matter whether they come or not, we've set them back. It'll take 15 to 20 years for them to rebuild what we've done to them.”
Addressing rising gas prices, Trump said, “We're at $4, yeah. And we have a country that's not going to be throwing a nuclear weapon at us in six months.” When asked about Americans feeling the effects of higher fuel costs, he added, “And they're also feeling a lot safer.”
Trump described the potential de-escalation as his clearest signal yet that the month-long conflict, which has reshaped the Middle East and disrupted global energy markets, could soon come to an end. “I would say that within two weeks, maybe two weeks, maybe three… All I have to do is leave Iran and we'll be doing that very soon, and they will come tumbling down,” he said.
