On June 8 President Trump told a campaign fundraising call he expects the US to
secure a "complete victory" over Iran within two weeks. He said the two sides
remain in talks, that Iran seeks a deal and is prepared to accept key US
conditions including forward nuclear weapons, and that oil prices will drop
sharply once victory is declared. U.S. media noted Trump has previously used
similar "two-week" timetables, citing an April 7 U.S.-Iran ceasefire initially
framed as lasting two weeks to allow final agreement talks.
