US President Donald Trump has indicated to end the ongoing conflict with Iran. According to a recent report by the Wall Street Journal, Trump is planning to end this war within 4 to 6 weeks. The special thing is that the American government can end this war even if the trade route of ‘Strait of Hormuz’ is not completely open. Trump believes that America has achieved its main objective of destroying Iran’s naval and missile bases, so there is no need to prolong this campaign any longer.

What are the main goals and strategies of the US government?
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has clarified that completely securing the Strait of Hormuz is no longer at the top of the list of US military objectives. The administration’s main focus is now on those Iranian targets that could become a threat in the future.
The US military has caused massive damage to Iran’s missile stockpiles and drone factories. According to Trump, Iran’s navy has been completely sunk and their strength has greatly reduced. The administration aims to end the military operation by mid-May so attention can be focused on other international meetings. America now wants to force Iran to open trade routes through diplomatic pressure instead of military attack.
What will be the impact on the Strait of Hormuz and trade routes?
If Iran is not ready to open the way for trade even after diplomatic talks, then Washington is working on a different plan for it. The Trump administration believes that European countries and Gulf allies should now take the responsibility of opening this route. American officials say that after the war ends, trade flow can be resumed through diplomatic means. Amid the news of the end of the war, the US stock market has seen a surge as investors hope that the easing of tensions will provide relief to the global economy.
