A senior American official told Kan that the current escalation with Iran may last several days or even weeks, according to the Israeli public broadcaster. The assessment comes amid ongoing US-Iran tensions and follows earlier US warnings that the conflict could become a daily occurrence.
A senior American official told Kan, the Israeli public broadcaster, that the current escalation between the United States and Iran may last several days or even weeks. The official's assessment, reported Thursday morning, adds a new dimension to the timeframe of the ongoing conflict. Earlier on Thursday, The Zioneer reported another unnamed US official warning that the events of the previous night could become a 'daily, weekly' occurrence if Iran continues to fire. The new statement extends the potential duration to weeks, suggesting the U.S. anticipates a prolonged campaign. The identity of the senior official was not disclosed, and the report did not specify whether the escalation was expected to remain at current levels or intensify. The remarks come as the U.S. military continues operations against Iranian targets, with CENTCOM strikes reportedly ongoing. The Zioneer has previously reported on U.S. warnings of 'very hard' strikes and concerns about the risk of unplanned escalation with Israel. The situation remains fluid, and further developments are expected.
