Trump reveals how long he expects Iran campaign to last — as he mourns US troops killed

President Trump warned the ongoing joint US-Israeli war against Iran could stretch on for “four weeks or so” — as he mourned the three American service members killed in the conflict and said there could be more deaths.

Trump told Daily Mail Sunday that the campaign was “going as per planned” but said the strikes would continue for many more days.

“It’s always been a four week process. We figured it will be four weeks or so. It’s always been about a four week process so – as strong as it is, it’s a big country, it’ll take four weeks, or less,” he said.

The comments came as Israel and the US both continued to bombard Iran Sunday with the goal of obliterating the country’s military military capabilities — and particularly its missile stockpiles so it can no longer attack the Jewish state or other American interests in the region.

In a video address posted on his Truth Social Sunday evening, he paid tribute to the Americans who have died.
