Trump prematurely announced "victory"! Why does the fight still need to go on for three more weeks?

Trump declared "victory," but the fighting still needs to continue strongly for another 2 to 3 weeks! On one hand, he claims the conflict will end in two to three weeks, while on the other hand, troops are massing and showing signs of a major offensive. How much of this is true, and how much is false? If Trump really wanted to run, could he actually escape?
Don't rush to conclusions yet—let's see where exactly this "two or three weeks" timeline is stuck. The elite units of the 82nd Airborne Division and the amphibious assault ship "Librador" have already arrived in the Middle East, along with the "Fist" amphibious task force rushing from the U.S. West Coast. All are deployed and forming a complete strike system—just about three weeks' time.
Is this just a coincidence? It doesn't seem like a withdrawal timeline; it looks more like the U.S. military has completed its assembly and is preparing for a full-scale attack window. So, the first possibility is a complete "bluff tactic." Trump has always played the game of "softening the enemy with false promises first, then striking suddenly to catch them off guard."
This time, his high-profile announcement of withdrawal is essentially a "confidence booster" for Iran—waiting for Iran to fully lower its guard, while the U.S. military completes its deployment, aiming for maximum results at minimal cost. This feint and strike tactic is quite ruthless. But will Iran really be so foolish as to be led by the nose?
The second possibility is to cover up a "botched" political narrative. Trump now most wants to draw a conclusion to this war. Why? Because for him, time equals money, and time equals votes. That's why he says, "Even without an agreement with Iran, we can withdraw."
The current "King of Understanding" is like a roast on a spit over a fire—domestic oil prices soaring, approval ratings plummeting, and the MAGA base beginning to waver due to the war and inflation. For him, the only KPI so far is: come back alive, and come back with a record of achievement.
So he must shout "victory." As long as he can publicly claim, "Look, I stopped Iran from developing nuclear weapons, I won, and I brought the troops home," that becomes a perfect political achievement. Whether the Strait of Hormuz opens or not, whether oil prices rise or not—those are issues for later.
So, here’s the question: if Trump really wants to run, can he actually escape? At least three forces are firmly holding onto his pant legs.
The first is Israel. This war was initiated by Israel; Netanyahu's plan is to use the U.S. to completely destroy Iran. Now Trump says "we won, let's withdraw," but Iran's regime is still there, missiles are still in place—can Netanyahu agree? He will cling tightly to Trump's pant leg, forcing the U.S. military to keep fighting. Even if Trump wants to run, he has to see if Israel agrees.
Next, the Gulf Cooperation Council countries—Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, and Qatar. Over the past month, they have been the real victims. The most affected, the UAE, has just come forward; Saudi oil production has been cut by 2 million barrels per day; Qatar's liquefied gas facilities have been bombed. They originally paid for U.S. troops for security, but now Trump says, "Protecting the Strait isn't my business; you guys go fight for it." Will they still trust him in the future?
Finally, Iran. With Khamenei's death, high-level targeted eliminations, and the country being bombed into a mess, yet their counterattack has never softened. Now, Trump just wants to run away with a pat on the back—how easy is that? As long as Iran doesn't nod, the Strait of Hormuz won't open, and the U.S. military won't be able to leave gracefully.
The current Middle East is like a huge quagmire— the more you struggle, the deeper you sink. Whether Trump is just acting or genuinely wants to run, the outcome of this farce probably isn't decided by him alone.
