US President Donald Trump said on Monday that operations against Iran are likely to last four to five weeks, but the United States is prepared “to go far longer than that" and said the operation represented the “last best chance” to eliminate what he called “intolerable threats” from the Iranian regime.
Speaking at a White House ceremony, Trump said the campaign was meeting its objectives ahead of schedule. “We’re already substantially ahead of our time projections,” he said. “From the beginning we projected four to five weeks, but we have capability to go far longer than that. We’ll do it.”
