Trump says US may exit Iran war soon as new attacks hit Gulf states and Iran

U.S. President Donald Trump and his Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the end of the war on Iran could be near, signaling potential for both direct talks with Tehran's leadership and a winding down of the conflict even without a deal.

The remarks underscored Washington's shifting and at times contradictory statements about when and how a war that has killed thousands, spread across the region and caused unprecedented energy disruption might end.

"We'll be leaving very soon," Trump told reporters on Tuesday, saying that could be "within two weeks, maybe two weeks, maybe three."

"Iran doesn't have to make a deal, no," he said, when asked if successful diplomacy was a prerequisite for the U.S. to end what it calls "Operation Epic Fury."
