White House: Trump to Decide Timeline of Iran Conflict, No Fixed Deadline

The White House has stated that the timeline for the ongoing conflict with Iran will be determined solely by U.S. President Donald Trump, with no fixed deadline in place.

Speaking in Washington, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed media reports claiming that Iran had been given a 3–5 day ultimatum, calling them inaccurate. She emphasized that no such deadline has been set for ending the conflict or lifting the naval blockade.

According to the administration, the situation remains fluid, and decisions will be guided by U.S. national interests and public safety. While a ceasefire is currently in place for military and ground operations, the U.S. continues to apply pressure through economic measures and strategic actions.

Under what officials described as “Operation Economic Fury,” Washington has maintained strict sanctions along with a naval blockade targeting ships linked to Iranian ports. The White House claims these steps have significantly weakened Iran’s economic position.

Leavitt also cautioned against relying on Iran’s public statements, pointing to differences between its public messaging and private negotiations. She noted that internal divisions within Iran’s leadership have prevented the country from presenting a unified peace proposal so far.

The U.S. is currently waiting for a consolidated proposal from Iran. Until then, it plans to continue its pressure strategy. The White House reiterated that the final decision on ending the conflict lies entirely with President Trump.
