Washington, USA – Web Desk: U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly seeking to conclude the ongoing war with Iran within the next four to six weeks, according to a Wall Street Journal report on Thursday. Sources say Trump has informed senior advisers that he wants the conflict resolved swiftly, viewing it as entering its final phase.
Officials indicated that Trump sees a rapid end to the war as a way to refocus attention on other political priorities, including the upcoming midterm elections and immigration policy.
The White House has reportedly planned a high-level summit in Beijing this May, timed with the expectation that the Iran conflict would be settled beforehand. However, experts caution that the situation remains fluid, and any final outcomes are uncertain.
According to reports, the U.S. is pursuing a dual-track approach: expressing readiness for further negotiations while simultaneously increasing its military presence in the Middle East. Trump is reportedly considering potential conditions to secure access to Iranian oil, though no concrete plan has yet been publicly disclosed.
The Washington Post also reports that Washington has put forward sensitive proposals for a ceasefire, which include demands that Iran eliminate its stockpiles of enriched uranium, curb its ballistic missile program, and end support for regional groups such as Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Hamas. U.S. officials have withheld full details due to the proposals’ sensitive nature.
The White House has denied reports claiming Iran rejected the proposals, stressing that talks are still ongoing. Pakistan has reportedly offered to host indirect U.S.-Iran negotiations, while Iran confirms it remains in contact with neighboring countries.
Analysts note that diplomacy and military strategy are currently advancing in parallel, making it difficult to predict how or when the conflict will end. The coming weeks are expected to be critical in determining the outcome.
