US President Donald Trump is considering ending the US military campaign against Iran within the next four to six weeks, even if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, according to reports.
The move signals a possible shift from military action to diplomacy, despite ongoing tensions and disruptions in global oil supply. Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel
Trump Eyes Early Exit
According to officials, Trump believes the US has already achieved its main goals, including weakening Iran’s navy and missile systems. He is now willing to wind down operations instead of continuing a long and costly conflict.
The President reportedly sees the closure of the Strait of Hormuz as a bigger issue for Asia and Europe, noting that about 84% of oil shipments through the strait go to Asian markets.
Oil Disruption and Global Impact
The partial closure of the Strait has caused oil prices to rise above $100 per barrel, raising concerns about shortages of fuel, fertiliser, and other essential goods.
While options like escorting oil tankers or launching a multinational effort to reopen the route are being discussed, they are not immediate priorities.
Mixed Signals on Ground
Despite talk of ending the war, the US is still increasing its military presence in the region.
- The USS Tripoli and the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit have arrived
- More troops, including from the 82nd Airborne Division, may be deployed
- Around 10,000 additional troops are under consideration
This creates uncertainty about the US strategy going forward.
Diplomacy and Tanker Movement
The White House says that recent movement of oil tankers through the Strait is due to ongoing direct and indirect talks between the US and Iran.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that around 30 tankers (10 earlier and 20 more expected) are moving because of diplomatic efforts.
Trump also claimed that Iran allowed these tankers as a “sign of respect”, calling it a positive development.
Iran Tightens Control
Meanwhile, Iran has approved a new Strait of Hormuz Management Plan, which includes:
- Charging tolls on ships passing through
- Banning US and Israeli vessels
- Restricting countries involved in sanctions
- Strengthening cooperation with Oman
These steps show Iran’s intention to control one of the world’s most important oil routes.
Situation Remains Uncertain
The conflict between Iran and the US-Israel alliance has now entered its second month, with rising tensions across the region.While diplomacy is increasing, military movements continue, making the situation complex and unpredictable.The coming weeks will be crucial in deciding whether the conflict moves toward peace or further escalation.
