US President Donald Trump has officially announced plans to withdraw\nAmerican military forces from Iranian territory within the next two to\nthree weeks. This statement marks the end of a large-scale military\noperation that has been ongoing since the end of February 2026.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat I have to do is leave Iran and we will do so very soon,\u201d Trump\ntold reporters in Washington on Tuesday (31\/3\/2026) local time. \u201cMaybe\ntwo weeks, maybe three weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n
In his statement, Trump emphasised that the primary objective of the\nUS military intervention\u2014to ensure Iran does not possess nuclear\nweapons\u2014has been fully achieved. He claimed that Iran\u2019s military\nstrength has been significantly weakened and will require at least 15 to\n20 years to recover.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, Trump made a crucial claim regarding a regime change in\nTehran. He referred to reports of the death of Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader,\nAyatollah Ali Khamenei, as a turning point for stability in the\nregion.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe toppled one regime, then the second regime. Now there is a very\ndifferent group there, which I think is much more moderate,\u201d Trump\nclaimed, without detailing the new government in question.<\/p>\n
The armed conflict that erupted on 28 February 2026 has had a\ndestructive impact on both sides and the global economy. According to\nIranian government data, US and Israeli airstrikes killed more than\n1,340 people. Meanwhile, Washington confirmed at least 13 US soldiers\nkilled in the battles.<\/p>\n
Regarding the security of energy trade routes in the Strait of\nHormuz, Trump stated that the US will no longer take a leading role in\nsecuring the area after the troop withdrawal.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf France or other countries want to get oil or gas, they will go\nthrough the Strait (of Hormuz). They must be able to defend themselves.\nWe have nothing to do with it anymore,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n
During the conflict, global energy prices and the value of the rupiah\nexperienced high volatility due to disruptions in shipping through the\nStrait of Hormuz, a vital route for world oil supplies.<\/p>\n
According to President Donald Trump\u2019s statement, the troop withdrawal\nprocess is scheduled to be completed within 14 to 21 days from the\nannouncement made at the end of March 2026.<\/p>\n
Official Iranian reports record more than 1,340 fatalities on their\nside, while the United States reported the loss of 13 military personnel\ndue to retaliatory drone and missile attacks.<\/p>\n
Trump stated that the US will no longer be responsible for the\nsecurity of the Strait of Hormuz. Oil-importing countries such as France\nare urged to independently secure their tanker ships.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/donald-trump-announces-us-troops-withdrawal-from-iran-within-three-weeks-1775022657", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
