Iran war ‘terminated’ before 60-day deadline, Trump administration says

The Trump administration has announced that its war in Iran has been terminated ahead of a 60-day deadline. The statement furthers an argument laid out by U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who said the ceasefire effectively paused the war.[1][2]

President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he may pull U.S. troops from Italy and Spain. The president stated that the potential withdrawal of military personnel is due to their opposition to the Iran war.[2]

The consideration to remove forces from Italy and Spain comes a day after Trump proposed a similar troop reduction in Germany. The administration's statements link the proposed European troop withdrawals directly to the allies' stances on the Iran conflict.[2]
