“I would say that within two weeks, maybe two weeks, maybe three,” Trump told reporters at the White House on Tuesday. “We’ll leave because there’s no reason for us to do this.”

Trump said the US has accomplished its goal of eliminating the nuclear threat from Iran, along with its military capabilities.
"We have had regime change ... I had one goal: they will have no nuclear weapons and that goal has been attained.“
“We’re finishing the job, and I think within maybe two weeks, maybe a couple of days longer to do the job, but we want to knock out every single thing they have,” he said.
Trump earlier told aides he is willing to end the military campaign against Iran even with the Strait of Hormuz remaining mostly closed, according to the Wall Street Journal.
