Trump has allowed the war with Iran to end in two to three weeks

The US will end its war with Iran within two to three weeks, US President Donald Trump has allowed.

"I would say within two weeks - maybe two, maybe three. We're going to leave because there's no reason for us to be doing this," Trump told reporters at the White House(quoted by Bloomberg).

Washington's deal with Tehran is possible during the designated period, Bloomberg reports the words of the American president. "We will be out [of Iran] very soon," Trump added in a CNBC statement. According to Trump, the US has been hitting Iran hard, resulting in "everything being bombed."

Trump said in an interview with the New York Post, excerpts of which the newspaper published on March 31, that the U.S. "won't stay there [in the Middle East] for long" and that other countries should take the lead in opening the Strait of Hormuz, which is crucial to the world's oil and gas supplies.

At the same time, Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian, according to Iranian media reports, has expressed willingness to end the war if there are guarantees - including that Iran will not be attacked again in the future.

Investors' hopes for the imminent end of the war caused a rally in the U.S. stock market: the main indices showed on March 31 the best growth in one day since Ma 2025. At the same time, May futures for Brent crude oil rose by 5% to $118.37, while June futures, on the contrary, fell by 3.6%.

Trump has spoken at least 12 times during the month of the war about its imminent end, Axios calculated. It is now the fifth week of the conflict, while the White House had previously indicated a timeframe of four to six weeks, the publication noted.
