Trump Claims Iran War Will Be Over In '2 Or 3 Weeks

 Trump Claims Iran War Will Be Over In 'Two Weeks', Says Oil Prices To Crash Afterwards

President Donald Trump has said that the United States could bring down global oil prices by disengaging from Iran, suggesting his administration would soon withdraw from the country.

Speaking in response to a question by journalists in White House on how his leadership would address rising oil prices, Trump argued that a US exit from Iran would have an immediate impact on the market.

"All we have to do is to leave Iran and we would be doing that very soon and they will become tumbling down."

He also linked his position to broader security concerns, referencing tensions over Iran’s nuclear ambitions and justifying past military actions.

"Stock prices were up almost a record, I said to the American people it's time we make a detour because we have a mad man who wants nuclear weapon. If we did not knock him out with a B2-bomber, we would have had a nuclear weapon that would have been used before this, before today."

Trump suggested that failure to act decisively could have led to catastrophic consequences, insisting that his approach prevented a potential nuclear threat.

"You would not be standing there asking that question. I would say that within two or three weeks we will leave."

His remarks come amid heightened geopolitical tensions involving Iran and ongoing debates over US foreign policy in the Middle-East, particularly around military involvement and its effect on global energy markets.

On Monday, Trump openly threatened to seize Iran’s oil resources, declaring that taking control of the country’s crude exports is his preferred course of action.

Speaking in an interview with the Financial Times, Trump said Sunday that he would like to "take the oil in Iran" and is considering targeting the strategic export hub of Kharg Island, which is responsible for more than 90% of Iran's oil exports.

In some of his most direct remarks on the issue, Trump said his "preference would be to take the oil."

"To be honest with you, my favorite thing is to take the oil in Iran but some stupid people back in the U.S. say: ‘Why are you doing that?’ But they’re stupid people," he said.
