Trump Aims to End Iran War Within Weeks Without Reopening Hormuz

President Donald Trump has told advisers he wants to avoid a prolonged war with Iran and aims to end the conflict within the four-to-six-week timeline he previously outlined. Nearly one month into the war, he privately indicated the conflict may be entering its final stages. Officials are planning a mid-May summit in Beijing with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, expecting the war to conclude before the meeting begins.

White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt also suggested that Arab nations such as Kuwait, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia could be asked to share the financial burden of the military operation.

Strait of Hormuz Closure Intensifies Regional Impact

The conflict began with joint U.S. and Israeli strikes on Feb. 28, followed by Iranian retaliation that spread fighting across the Gulf region. The Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed, halting the movement of hundreds of vessels daily across the critical global energy shipping route.
