US and Iran trade warnings over potential withdrawal from conflict

April 1, 2026 • Google News World

US President Donald Trump has stated that the US will “leave” Iran within weeks. The comments were made to his aides, according to reports from multiple news sources.

Tehran has responded by saying it has the “necessary will” to end the war between the two countries.

In a separate development, Trump has reportedly told his allies that he is willing to end the conflict without reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for oil shipments.

The situation remains fluid, with ongoing attacks across the region. The US and Iran have been engaged in a tense standoff since 2018, when the US withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) nuclear deal.

Multiple news sources have reported on Trump’s comments, including the BBC, WSJ, Bloomberg, Al Jazeera, and Fortune.
