Trump Signals U.S. Troop Withdrawal from Iran

U.S. President Donald Trump has indicated that the process to withdraw American troops from Iran will begin soon. Iran’s Defense Minister Masoud Pezeshkian has expressed Tehran’s readiness to end the conflict. In the last week of February, the U.S. and Israel jointly launched attacks in Iran, and tensions in the Middle Eastern region have escalated following the death of Ali Khamenei. Kathmandu, March 31.

Trump has shown initiative towards ending the ongoing conflict with Iran. He announced that the United States will soon start the process of bringing its troops home from Iran. According to Trump, the U.S. military will be prepared to leave Iran within the next two to three weeks. He shared this information from the Oval Office.

However, he did not indicate any prior agreement or deal before the war concludes. Iran’s Defense Minister Masoud Pezeshkian also clarified that Tehran is ready to end the war. He stated that Iran is eager to bring the conflict to a close if assurances are given that hostilities will not recur.

Israel’s perspective, however, remains different. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not set any deadline for ending the conflict. He mentioned that it is not possible to provide a definitive ‘deadline’ for when tensions with Iran will cease. In the last week of February, the U.S. and Israel conducted joint attacks in Iran. This sequence of events has heightened insecurity across Gulf countries as well.
