Could this war really be over in just weeks? That’s the big question after Donald Trump suggested US military action in Iran might wrap up within “two to three weeks.”
Trump says the goal is simple: ensure Iran can’t build a nuclear weapon “for years.”
Deal or no deal, he insists—the US will leave once that objective is met. Confident? Yes. Certain? Not quite.
On the other side, Masoud Pezeshkian signals openness to peace—but with conditions.
Tehran, he says, is ready to end the war if there are guarantees it won’t reignite.
Sounds reasonable—but who provides those guarantees?
Markets React To Tensions
Markets reacted fast. Oil prices dipped below $100, a sign that even the hint of de-escalation can calm global nerves.
But the battlefield tells a different story. Strikes between Israel and Iran continue.
While attacks ripple across the Gulf—from Kuwait to Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.
Enter China and Pakistan, proposing a ceasefire plan and reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Why China? Simple—energy security.
So here’s the dilemma: talks are happening, but missiles are still flying.
In war, timelines are easy to promise—but much harder to deliver.
