Trump Warns of 2-3 Week War in US-Iran Conflict
US President Donald Trump has made a prediction that the ongoing conflict between the United States and Iran will last only two to three weeks. Speaking to a group of senators at the White House on Thursday, Trump emphasized that despite the intensity of the situation, the war will be brief and successful for the US military.
“It’s going to be a short war,” Trump said, as reported by Axios, a Washington-based online news publication. “I think Iran wants to make a deal, but the Democrats are trying to hurt all of the great things that are happening under my administration.”
The US-Iran conflict has been escalating over the past few days, after a US drone strike killed a prominent Iranian military commander, Qasem Soleimani. In response, Iran launched a missile attack on two major US military bases in Iraq.
The situation has left many in the international community questioning the likelihood of a US-Iran deal and the prospect of further military action. While Trump’s two-to-three week timeline for the war appears to be speculative, it may indicate a shift in US strategy to prioritize a swift resolution to the conflict.
Iranian officials have been vocal in their condemnation of US actions, denouncing the drone strike as an act of terrorism. In a speech broadcast on Iranian state television, Foreign Minister Javad Zarif described Soleimani’s killing as a “cowardly” act.
US military officials have confirmed that the missile attacks on US bases in Iraq have caused no fatalities or significant damage. The US has also issued a warning to American citizens to leave Iraq immediately due to the risk of further attacks.
