Trump says US may exit Iran war soon and threatens to quit NATO, as oil crisis escalates

(Reuters/Al Arabiya) The United States will end its war on Iran fairly soon and could return for “spot hits” if needed, President Donald Trump told Reuters on Wednesday, hours before he was scheduled to make a primetime address to the nation. Trump also said he would state in the speech, which is due at 9 p.m. EDT on Wednesday (0100 GMT on Thursday), that he was considering withdrawing the US from the NATO alliance. Asked when the United States would consider the Iran war over, Trump said: “I can’t tell you exactly … we’re going to be out pretty quickly.”. US action has ensured Iran will not have nuclear arms, he said: “They won’t have a nuclear weapon because they are incapable of that now, and then I’ll leave, and I’ll take everybody with me, and if we have to we’ll come back to do spot hits.” – Trump says US may exit Iran war soon and threatens to quit NATO, as oil crisis escalates
