President Donald Trump said that U.S. military operations against Iran could last between two and three weeks, according to a report from an Israeli journalist on Telegram. The remark, which echoes previous statements by Trump, was not accompanied by additional context or official confirmation. The Zioneer has previously covered Trump's public statements on the duration of the Iran campaign. On June 19, Trump said the only way to be tougher on Iran is to continue bombing for two to three weeks, but questioned whether it would achieve anything, as The Zioneer reported. On June 17, he suggested that without a deal, the U.S. could sustain operations for an extended period, potentially closing the Strait of Hormuz. The Trump administration launched a renewed military campaign against Iran in early June, following a series of escalations. The current remark, reported by a single source, has not been independently verified. The statement comes amid ongoing U.S. airstrikes on Iranian targets, with the administration pressing for a diplomatic resolution.
