Donald Trump has indicated that the United States could wrap up its military operations against Iran within two to three weeks, suggesting that a diplomatic agreement is not necessary to end the conflict.

Speaking at the White House, Trump said the U.S. would be “leaving very soon,” even as Washington continues its campaign under “Operation Epic Fury.” He confirmed plans to address the nation with an update on the war.

Meanwhile, tensions remain high as Tehran warned it could target major U.S. corporations, including tech giants like Microsoft, Google, and Apple in retaliation.

The conflict has expanded across the region, with fresh strikes reported in Beirut amid escalating clashes involving Hezbollah. Casualties continue to rise as violence spreads beyond initial battle zones.

At the diplomatic level, China and Pakistan have jointly called for an immediate ceasefire, urging all sides to pursue negotiations.

Despite ongoing backchannel communications, Iranian officials maintain that no formal negotiations with the U.S. are underway.

Earlier, The United States has warned that the coming days in its ongoing conflict with Iran will be decisive, urging Tehran to agree to a deal while signaling readiness to continue military operations if no agreement is reached.

US War Secretary Pete Hegseth said the situation is approaching a critical phase and cautioned that the conflict could intensify if Iran fails to comply. His remarks came shortly after renewed attacks in the Gulf, including a drone strike that set a fully loaded oil tanker ablaze near Dubai, highlighting the widening scope of the confrontation.
