Trump's Shifting Stance on Iran War: From '4 Weeks' to 'Largely Over'
•US President Donald Trump offers vague statements on the Iran war, saying the US will be "leaving pretty much in the near future."
•Trump's rhetoric has contradicted his own administration and himself, initially giving a four-week timeline but later claiming the war was "largely over."
•The war, now in its 18th day, continues to disrupt energy markets, crude oil prices, and international travel with no clear end in sight.
•Despite Trump's claims of a swift end, Iran is prepared to prolong the conflict, and Israel has plans for a long and 'dangerous' engagement.
•Analysts suggest Trump's contradictory statements aim to calm markets while showcasing force, with the administration citing Iran's nuclear ambitions as justification.
