Trump Claims US Nears Its Goal in Iran Conflict, Planning Gradual De-escalation of War

March 20, Kathmandu – US President Donald Trump has claimed that the United States is very close to achieving its objectives in the conflict with Iran. Posting on the social media platform Truth on Saturday, Trump mentioned that after nearing their goal, they are considering gradually ending the military engagement.

“We are planning to gradually wind down a major military campaign against Iran’s terrorist regime in the Middle East,” Trump wrote. “Because we have come very close to achieving our objective.”

Following military attacks against the US and Israel, Iran imposed a blockade on the Strait of Hormuz maritime route. This move has escalated global tensions and triggered an energy crisis.

Trump clarified that the United States does not have security concerns for that region. He stated, “The responsibility for security oversight in that region must be taken by the countries that use it.”

However, he added that if these countries request assistance from the US for securing the Strait of Hormuz, America is committed to providing the necessary support. “But once the Iranian threat is removed, such assistance will no longer be needed, as it will be an easier military exercise for those countries,” Trump explained.

Trump also claimed that in the course of the conflict, Iran’s missile capabilities have been completely destroyed, its military-industrial infrastructure has been demolished, and it has been ensured that Iran will not develop nuclear weapons.

Furthermore, Trump emphasized that the US has extended the highest level of security to its allies in the Middle East, including Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, Kuwait, and other countries.
