U.S. President Donald Trump estimated that the ongoing conflict with Iran could last about four weeks, according to statements reported on Sunday by the British daily Daily Mail.
“The plans always called for it to be an operation that would last four weeks. We expected it to take roughly four weeks,” Trump said. He added: “Despite its power, because it’s a big country, it will take four weeks, or less.”
The U.S. president also said he remains open to possible talks with Iranian authorities, without specifying whether such discussions could happen soon.
“I don’t know… They want to talk, but I told them they should have done it last week, not this week,” he noted, leaving uncertainty about a rapid resumption of dialogue between Washington and Tehran.
