US President has expressed confidence that the ongoing conflict with could conclude in the near future. In a recent phone interview, Trump suggested that the military campaign has already achieved much of its intended impact, claiming that there are few remaining strategic targets left in Iran. According to him, the situation could be wrapped up quickly whenever the decision is made to bring the operation to a close.
During the interview, Trump described the military effort as highly successful and said progress has exceeded expectations. He indicated that the damage inflicted during the campaign has surpassed initial projections, even within what was originally planned as a six-week operational window. The president maintained that the United States has moved ahead of schedule in reaching its objectives and believes the conflict could soon wind down as a result.
Despite these public statements, reports suggest that officials from the United States and have not yet received any formal internal guidance regarding when military operations might actually stop. This apparent gap between the president’s public optimism and internal planning has raised questions about the timeline and strategy for concluding the conflict.
Trump also argued that Iran’s hostility has historically extended beyond its tensions with the United States and , claiming that countries across the Gulf region have also faced threats from Tehran. He framed the current campaign as a response to decades of instability and violence attributed to Iran’s actions in the Middle East.
Meanwhile, U.S. intelligence agencies have reportedly advised both government institutions and private companies to remain alert for possible retaliation, particularly in the form of cyberattacks. At the same time, reports indicate that the United States used approximately $5.6 billion worth of munitions during the first two days of the conflict. Some advisers close to Trump are also said to be encouraging a quicker end to the war, warning that a prolonged military campaign and rising oil prices could create political pressure ahead of upcoming congressional elections.
