Trump's Shifting Stance on Iran War: From '4 Weeks' to 'Largely Over'

• US President Donald Trump offers vague statements on the Iran war, saying the US will be "leaving pretty much in the near future."
• Trump's rhetoric has contradicted his own administration and himself, initially giving a four-week timeline but later claiming the war was "largely over."
• The war, now in its 18th day, continues to disrupt energy markets, crude oil prices, and international travel with no clear end in sight.
• Despite Trump's claims of a swift end, Iran is prepared to prolong the conflict, and Israel has plans for a long and 'dangerous' engagement.
• Analysts suggest Trump's contradictory statements aim to calm markets while showcasing force, with the administration citing Iran's nuclear ambitions as justification.
