Trump says U.S. will leave Iran in ‘two or three weeks’


President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he expected that U.S. military forces will leave Iran in “two or three weeks.”

“We leave because there’s no reason for us to do this,” Trump told reporters at the White House.

“We’ll be ‌leaving very soon,” the president said.

The U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on Feb. 28.

“Look what’s happening in Iran,” Trump said on Tuesday. “I mean, we’re totally unchecked. Everything’s been bombed out.”

“We’re hitting them very hard,” he said. “Last night, we knocked out tremendous amounts of missile-making facilities.”
