Meanwhile, reports suggest that Donald Trump may decide to halt the conflict with Iran without a formal agreement. His approach appears to focus on declaring objectives achieved rather than pursuing a prolonged diplomatic settlement.
Trump has also indicated that he could formally announce a withdrawal from the conflict within two to three weeks. In recent remarks, he claimed that regime change in Iran had effectively already taken place and that key goals of the campaign had been accomplished.
The evolving positions of both leaders have fueled speculation about a broader de-escalation in the region. Observers believe that coordinated political messaging from Washington and Tel Aviv could play a crucial role in shaping the next phase of the situation.
