Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that he expected the U.S. to finish operations against Iran in 'two weeks, maybe three', with or without a formal deal, and that keeping the Strait of Hormuz open would be for countries that use it, such as France and China. The White House then said he would address the nation on Iran at 9 p.m. EDT on Wednesday.

Why it matters

Trump described an exit that does not depend on a deal or on reopening Hormuz, and his Wednesday address is the next watchpoint for how he defines the end of the war.
