Donald Trump said the United States could end its military operations against Iran within two to three weeks and that a diplomatic deal is not required to conclude the conflict.

His comments reflect shifting U.S. messaging about the war, which is now in its fifth week and has caused widespread regional disruption.

Trump also said he will address the nation to provide an update on the situation, while officials indicated both military pressure and potential negotiations remain on the table.

Meanwhile, the conflict continues to expand, with ongoing strikes in the region and renewed tensions involving groups like Hezbollah, Reuters has reported.

The war has raised global concerns over energy supplies, regional stability, and rising economic impacts.
