Trump: Iran War Wrapping Up — Deal or No Deal

by | Apr 1, 2026 | News

President Trump said Tuesday that Iran need not agree to any formal deal for the United States to end its military campaign there, signaling the war could conclude unilaterally within weeks.

“When we feel that they are put into the stone ages and won’t be able to come up with a nuclear weapon, then we’ll leave whether we have a deal or not,” Trump told reporters at the White House. He predicted the war would be over in “two or three weeks,” adding that Iran would be unable to develop a nuclear weapon “for years.”

Trump also dismissed concerns about Iran’s surviving enriched uranium stockpiles, saying the material is buried so deeply underground that it poses no immediate threat. Prime Minister Netanyahu echoed that assessment, claiming Israel has “smashed” Iran’s industrial capacity to produce nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles.

Trump acknowledged, however, that the current campaign may not be a permanent solution — suggesting a future president might need to strike Iran again if it resumes nuclear development.

China and Pakistan jointly proposed a five-point ceasefire initiative Tuesday, calling for peace talks and reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The White House reportedly does not oppose the plan.
