The WSJ reported on Trump's desire to end the conflict with Iran in the coming weeks.

American leader Donald Trump wants to end the conflict with Iran in the coming weeks. This was reported on March 25 by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), citing sources.

"In recent days, President Trump has been telling his associates that he wants to avoid a protracted war in Iran and hopes to end the conflict in the coming weeks," the publication says.

According to the publication, Trump also tells his entourage that this conflict distracts him from other priorities.

In addition, according to sources, the White House has scheduled a visit by the American leader to China to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping in mid-May, hoping that by that time the conflict with Iran will be over.

Pause and against: Trump is trying to split the Iranian elite

Washington has announced constructive talks with Tehran, although the Islamic Republic denies them.

Trump announced on March 23 that the US military would temporarily suspend strikes on Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure amid talks between Washington and Tehran. He also said that the United States and Iran had held two days of fruitful negotiations to resolve the conflict.

On the same day, the Iranian Foreign Ministry strongly denied the information about the alleged negotiations. According to the ministry, peace initiatives come only from the countries of the Middle East, and the statements of the American leader are an attempt to "buy time" for a military operation.
