U.S. President Donald Trump has said the ongoing military confrontation with Iran could extend for around four weeks, calling it part of the original plan for the campaign. Trump made the remarks in an interview from his Mar-a-Lago resort, noting Iranās large size and strength as reasons the conflict isnāt expected to end immediately.
He acknowledged that three U.S. service members have been killed so far and described the ongoing strikes ā coordinated with Israel ā as ācomplexā and continuing until objectives are met. Trump also suggested he remains open to possible future talks with Tehran, though negotiations have not yet taken place.
The remarks come amid a broader escalation in the Middle East war, with Iranian and allied forces responding to U.S. and Israeli actions with missile and drone attacks across the region.
