US President Donald Trump has made clear that he does not want recent tensions with Iran to drag on. According to The Wall Street Journal, Trump told his advisers that the crisis has entered what he sees as its final stage, signaling a push to wrap up the current confrontation rather than let it expand.
The report says the White House has set a specific window of four to six weeks for its next moves. Trump is said to want key diplomatic efforts completed before an expected meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in mid-May, suggesting Washington is working against a tight political and strategic timetable.
Trump reportedly believes Iran’s leadership is interested in talks but cannot say so publicly because of internal pressure and security concerns. He has argued that members of Iran’s elite fear both their own population and the United States, a view that reflects his belief that Tehran may still be open to negotiation behind closed doors.
Analysts say the approach shows the US is trying to avoid a long conflict that could raise economic costs, push oil prices higher, and damage Trump’s domestic political standing. Although Tehran officially denies any negotiations, Washington appears eager to keep a diplomatic channel alive while trying to preserve its influence on the international stage.
