Washington, April 6 (NationPress) President Donald Trump indicated on Monday that the ongoing conflict with Iran could conclude rapidly given certain conditions are met, asserting that US interventions have already instigated notable political transformations within the nation.

“The war could see a swift resolution if they comply,” Trump stated during a press briefing at the White House, suggesting that discussions are currently in progress.

He noted that the US is engaging with a new group of Iranian negotiators. “The individuals we are negotiating with now… are significantly more rational,” Trump remarked, hinting at a potential shift in the leadership dynamics in Tehran.

Trump elaborated on the situation, labeling the changes in Iran as critical. “You may refer to it differently, but I consider it regime change,” he stated, mentioning that previous leadership has been ousted.

He described the current negotiating team as “less radical” and “more intelligent,” expressing optimism that discussions are proceeding “in good faith.”

At the same time, Trump underscored that military pressure remains a key component of US strategy. He pointed out that Iran’s capacity to continue the conflict is constrained, noting that the remnants of their capabilities include “some missiles” and “a few drones.”

He also referenced a recent incident where a US aircraft was shot down but both pilots survived, calling it a rare event in such military operations. “They were a bit fortunate… in warfare, having luck is also essential,” Trump commented.

Trump mentioned that the US has several options moving forward, including the possibility of withdrawal. “We could exit immediately… but I prefer to see it through,” he stated, indicating a desire for a conclusive outcome to the conflict.

He introduced an economic aspect to the situation, suggesting that seizing Iran’s oil resources could be a factor. “If it were up to me… I would take the oil… retain the oil and generate substantial profit,” Trump said, while admitting that this strategy might not resonate with domestic views.

He argued that public sentiment in the US leans towards concluding the conflict. “The American public desires our return home,” Trump said, even as he maintained that the ongoing war serves a broader strategic purpose.

The comments reflect a two-pronged US strategy—maintaining military pressure while pursuing negotiations—as Washington aims to influence developments in Iran.

The situation in West Asia continues to garner global attention, especially from nations like India that have significant economic, energy, and diaspora ties to the area.

The Iran issue has consistently been a focal point in international diplomacy, particularly following the US's withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear agreement, with its ramifications continuing to affect regional stability and global energy markets.
