Trump Refuses Timeline for Ending Iran War, Says Decision Will Come ‘When I Feel It in My Bones’

Donald Trump, the President of the United States, has refused to give a timeline for ending the ongoing war with Iran, saying the conflict will conclude when he believes the moment is right.

Speaking in an interview with Fox News Radio, Trump said he would know the war was over “when I feel it in my bones,” stressing that the decision would ultimately depend on his judgment as commander-in-chief.

No Fixed Deadline for Military Operations

Trump declined to outline a clear schedule for ending the military campaign, which began nearly two weeks ago after joint strikes by the United States and Israel targeted Iranian military infrastructure.

According to the US president, the American military is already ahead of schedule in its operations and has sufficient weapons and capabilities to continue the campaign if necessary.

“We’re doing very well. Our forces are ahead of schedule and we have everything we need,” Trump said during the interview.

Decision Will Depend on Battlefield Developments

Trump indicated that the duration of the war would depend on developments on the ground and strategic assessments by the US military leadership.

He emphasised that as commander-in-chief, he would make the final call on when the conflict should end.

The remarks suggest that Washington is prepared for an extended military campaign if it believes strategic objectives have not yet been achieved.

War Has Escalated Regional Tensions

The conflict between the United States, Israel and Iran has significantly escalated tensions across the Middle East.

Recent weeks have seen missile attacks, airstrikes on military facilities and threats to key shipping routes such as the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important oil transit corridors.

These developments have raised fears that the conflict could widen further and affect regional stability as well as global energy markets.

Global Attention on Conflict’s Next Phase

Trump’s comments come at a time when governments and markets worldwide are closely monitoring the trajectory of the war.

While the US administration maintains that its operations are progressing successfully, analysts warn that the absence of a defined timeline could mean the conflict may continue longer than initially expected.

For now, the US president has made it clear that the decision to end the war will be based on his own assessment of when the military objectives have been fulfilled.
