The President of the United States, Donald Trump, said this Tuesday (31), during a press conference at the White House, that the American government has already achieved its main objective in the war against Iran and that the conflict can be ended within three weeks. According to him, the US goal in this offensive was to prevent Tehran from having nuclear weapons.
“They will not have nuclear weapons. That objective has been achieved,” said the American president. Trump added that military operations continue to “finish the job” and that the estimated deadline is “maybe two weeks, maybe three”.
According to the president, recent US attacks significantly hit Iranian military infrastructure, including missile production facilities. Trump stated that the United States has been “hitting hard” Iranian targets and that new offensives could take place in the coming days. However, he said, there is also the possibility of an agreement before the end of these operations.
“We are negotiating with them now. If they come to the table, great. If not, we will continue,” Trump said.
Trump said Iran has already lost a significant part of its military structures and that it would take years to rebuild them.
Asked about the oil crisis, the Republican stated that fuel prices should fall after the end of American and Israeli operations against Iran.
Trump had already indicated throughout this month of war that the conflict would be short-lived. In past statements, the Republican stated that the war was “practically concluded” and that it would end “very soon”. The war against Iran began on February 28, with coordinated attacks by the United States and Israel against strategic targets in the country.
