US President Donald Trump has announced that the United States will conclude its military operations in the Middle East within the next two to three weeks.
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, the US President made these remarks during an event at the White House while addressing journalists regarding Washington's regional strategy. "I would say within two weeks, maybe three weeks," US President Donald Trump stated in response to questions about the timeline for the conclusion of the mission.
The President further clarified that the United States does not intend to participate in the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and will withdraw its presence from the area very shortly. Regarding Tehran, US President Donald Trump expressed confidence that Iran would never be able to produce nuclear weapons. He further claimed that Washington has achieved a regime change in the Islamic Republic, asserting that "less radical leaders" are now in power in the country.
The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world's most strategically important chokepoints, serving as a vital artery for global energy supplies through which approximately one-fifth of the world's oil passes. The potential withdrawal of US forces from this maritime corridor marks a significant shift in regional security dynamics. Historically, the US presence in these waters has been aimed at ensuring the freedom of navigation and countering perceived threats to international trade routes in the Persian Gulf region.
