Washington, April 1 (NationPress) President Donald Trump indicated that American troops could withdraw from the current conflict with Iran within a matter of weeks, emphasizing that the United States has successfully achieved its primary goal of curbing Tehran's nuclear capabilities.

“I believe it will take two or three weeks,” Trump stated to journalists in the Oval Office when questioned about the timeline for concluding US military operations, adding that their objectives were nearly fulfilled.

He asserted that US actions had substantially weakened Iran’s military potential through continuous airstrikes. “Our singular aim was to ensure they do not possess nuclear weapons, and we have accomplished that,” Trump declared, reiterating, “They will not obtain nuclear arms.”

The President also noted a significant shift in the circumstances within Iran. “There has been a regime change,” he remarked, suggesting that the US was now engaging with “much more rational actors.”

Trump mentioned that the ongoing military actions were intended to ensure a lasting disruption to Iran's capabilities. “We aim to eliminate every single asset they have,” he stated.

At the same time, he hinted at the potential for a diplomatic resolution. “It's feasible that we could reach an agreement because they are more eager for a deal than I am,” Trump said.

Nevertheless, he clarified that a negotiation was not a prerequisite for the US's departure. “Iran does not need to agree… We will leave when we believe they are, for an extended time, reduced to the stone ages,” he added.

Trump further implied that the conflict had changed the strategic landscape in the region. “We have hindered their progress. It will take them 15 to 20 years to restore what we have inflicted upon them,” he stated.

The President characterized the military intervention as essential. “We had to take a brief detour due to a madman… who desired a nuclear weapon,” he explained.

He reported that US forces had targeted crucial infrastructure. “Recently, we destroyed significant amounts of missile production facilities,” Trump said.

Trump asserted that the broader mission had been fulfilled and that the final stages of operations would be restricted. “In a relatively short time, we will wrap this up,” he noted.

The President claimed that Iran's military capabilities had been largely dismantled after recent American operations, asserting that Tehran no longer had operational defense systems.

“They lack a navy. They lack a military. They lack an air force,” Trump stated, outlining the consequences of US actions.

He mentioned that critical systems had been obliterated. “They have no telecommunications… they have no anti-aircraft capabilities,” he elaborated.

Trump also highlighted losses in Iran's leadership. “Their leaders are all gone,” he stated, reaffirming his assertion of “regime change.”

The President noted that US forces now encounter minimal resistance in the air. “They are dominating the skies over Tehran; they’re not even being targeted because their equipment has been completely destroyed,” he remarked.

He contended that the extent of the damage would hinder any recovery efforts. “It will take them 15 to 20 years to rebuild what we have done to them,” Trump said.

Trump framed the situation as a decisive military victory. “They're losing, they admit they're losing, they're pleading for a deal,” he said.

He also suggested that Iran's defensive capabilities had been neutralized to the point where US aircraft can operate freely. “Planes are just dominating the sky,” he concluded.
