Trump Predicts Swift End to Operation Against Iran
The United States will conclude its military operation against Iran within two to three weeks, according to an announcement made by American President Donald Trump on Tuesday, March 31.
"I think we will leave within two to three weeks, because there is no reason for us to be doing this," Trump told reporters at the White House, discussing actions against the Islamic Republic.
Earlier, Donald Trump had also warned that the U.S. would cease providing aid to countries that refused to support Washington's military operation against Tehran.
Amidst these developments, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez stated at a European Union summit that military actions in Iran, initiated by American and Israeli authorities, are illegal.
In response, the U.S. head remarked that Washington might have to discontinue trade relations with Spain if it fails to increase its defense spending.
Meanwhile, the Russian Federation dispatched 330 tons of medical supplies and humanitarian aid to Iran. Additional supplies to the country also arrived from Tajikistan and China.
