Trump tells aides he wants swift end to war
Donald Trump has reportedly told his advisers that he wants a swift end to the war.
The US president is seeking to conclude the conflict with Iran within weeks, The Wall Street Journal reported.
According to White House sources cited in the report, Mr Trump wants to finish the fighting before May 14, when he is due to meet Xi Jinping in Beijing for talks that were postponed because of the war.
Mr Trump has frequently claimed that the joint US-Israeli bombing campaign against the Iranian regime, which began last month, is close to reaching its objectives.
However, his opponents argue that his administration has not clarified those objectives or how the US plans to achieve them.
It comes after the Iranian regime mocked the White House’s proposed peace deal on Wednesday, claiming it would end the war on its own terms.
Iran’s response suggests that a ceasefire in the conflict – which has killed more than 1,000 Iranians and shocked the global economy – is still a long way off.
Tehran said it was reviewing Mr Trump’s 15-point peace plan, but poured scorn on the prospect of negotiations with Washington.
The US plan demands that Iran abandon nuclear enrichment, limit missile production and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
He had a plan of beat Iran fast and extort China, but obviously he failed.
Let's see if this unpopular person can realize that his empty delusions will never be realized.
