President Donald Trump declared on March 9 and 10 that the ongoing US-Israel-Iran war \u201cwill end very soon,\u201d offering a mix of optimism and defiance as the conflict enters its 12th day. Speaking at a press conference at his Florida golf club and in subsequent interviews, Trump described the military campaign \u2014 dubbed Operation Epic Fury \u2014 as \u201cvery complete, pretty much\u201d and insisted that Iran\u2019s leadership and capabilities have been \u201cblown up,\u201d paving the way for a swift conclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The statements come amid intense fighting, including the recent U.S. destruction of 16 Iranian mine-laying vessels near the Strait of Hormuz and Iran\u2019s heavy missile barrage on Israeli cities Tel Aviv and Haifa. Trump\u2019s remarks appear aimed at calming jittery global markets while maintaining pressure on Tehran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump\u2019s Key Statements and Timeline Signals<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a CBS News interview and at a Republican gathering in Miami, Trump addressed the war\u2019s duration directly. When asked if the conflict would end this week, he replied, \u201cNo,\u201d but quickly added, \u201cVery soon.\u201d He emphasized that Iran \u201chas no leadership\u201d left after targeted strikes and that the U.S. is \u201cvery far ahead\u201d of initial estimates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump described the operation as a \u201cshort-term excursion\u201d to eliminate threats, particularly Iran\u2019s nuclear program and missile arsenal. He reiterated that the war would conclude once he, as commander-in-chief, determines that military objectives have been met \u2014 including what the White House has framed as Iran\u2019s effective \u201cunconditional surrender\u201d in terms of posing no further threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt clarified that the end date rests solely with Trump: \u201cWhen the president determines that Iran no longer poses a threat to the United States and the goals of Operation Epic Fury have been fully realized, then the war will essentially be over.\u201d Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth echoed this, stating attacks would continue \u201cuntil the enemy is totally and decisively defeated\u201d on America\u2019s timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump also floated potential waivers on certain oil-related sanctions to boost global supply and reduce prices once stability returns, signaling a post-conflict focus on energy markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oil Markets Reel from Mixed Signals<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump\u2019s assurances triggered immediate market reactions. Brent crude had surged toward $120 per barrel in the days following Iran\u2019s partial closure of the Strait of Hormuz and attacks on Gulf energy infrastructure. Prices then plunged sharply \u2014 dropping below $90 in some sessions \u2014 after Trump\u2019s \u201cvery soon\u201d comments eased fears of prolonged disruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analysts attribute the volatility to uncertainty: while Trump projects confidence in a quick resolution, ongoing U.S. strikes (described by the Pentagon as the \u201cmost intense day yet\u201d) and Iran\u2019s vows of continued resistance suggest the fighting is far from over. The International Energy Agency continues preparations for a massive release of strategic reserves, and Saudi Arabia has maximized alternative pipeline routes to bypass the strait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump downplayed the price swings, calling $100+ oil a \u201csmall price to pay\u201d for eliminating the Iranian nuclear threat and predicting a rapid drop once the war ends. Critics, however, warn that prolonged uncertainty could sustain elevated energy costs, fueling inflation concerns ahead of upcoming political cycles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Broader Context: Day 12 of the US-Israel-Iran War<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conflict, which began February 28 with joint U.S.-Israeli strikes including the reported assassination of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, has seen relentless airstrikes on Iranian targets, naval engagements in the Gulf, and direct Iranian missile retaliation against Israel. Casualties include over 140 U.S. troops wounded and 7 killed, thousands of Iranian deaths claimed by Tehran, and civilian impacts in Israel from recent barrages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iran\u2019s new leadership under Mojtaba Khamenei has rejected surrender talks without guarantees, while Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu maintain that dismantling Iran\u2019s nuclear and missile programs remains non-negotiable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global Reactions and Skepticism<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

International responses to Trump\u2019s optimism vary. European allies express relief at potential de-escalation but urge caution, with some deploying additional naval assets to secure shipping lanes. Russia has reaffirmed mediation offers, and China calls for restraint to stabilize energy markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analysts question whether Trump\u2019s timeline is realistic. Some point to Iran\u2019s resilience despite heavy losses, its asymmetric capabilities (drones, proxies), and the challenges of fully neutralizing a determined regime in weeks. Others see the statements as psychological warfare aimed at demoralizing Tehran and reassuring domestic audiences amid rising U.S. casualties and economic ripple effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As one expert noted, \u201cTrump is signaling victory to calm markets and pressure Iran, but the battlefield reality may dictate a different pace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Comes Next?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump\u2019s vow that the war \u201cwill end very soon\u201d has injected hope into volatile markets, but the coming days will test whether his confidence matches developments on the ground. With the Pentagon promising continued intense operations and Iran vowing retaliation, the path to resolution remains uncertain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Juba Global News Network will track every development. As President Trump stated: \u201cIt\u2019s going to be ended soon, and if it starts up again they\u2019ll be hit even harder.\u201d The world awaits clarity on when \u2014 and how \u2014 this chapter closes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
