U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the active phase of the military operation in Iran is nearing completion. According to him, U.S. troops will leave the country within the next two to three weeks, as the main objective—eliminating the nuclear threat—has already been achieved. This was reported by Glavkom, citing The Wall Street Journal.
Trump noted that the series of strikes on Iran’s nuclear and ballistic facilities proved to be “devastating.” The U.S. president believes it will take Iran 15–20 years to rebuild the destroyed infrastructure.
The White House chief confirmed: the U.S. “will withdraw from Iran within 2–3 weeks.” “We will leave very soon,” Trump stated, adding that he does not consider an agreement with Iran necessary for this step.
The US-Israeli military campaign began on February 28, 2026, and during this time, hundreds of targets have been struck, including IRGC headquarters and drone manufacturing plants.
It should be recalled that four weeks after the start of military operations against Iran, disagreements arose within Trump’s inner circle regarding the achievement of the main objective—regime change.
According to a Reuters investigation, a phone call between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Trump was a key factor in the preparation of Operation “Epic Fury.” Netanyahu convinced Trump to seize the “window of opportunity” to eliminate Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, despite Trump’s initial inclination toward diplomacy.
