![Iran campaign may take four to six weeks, says White House
The US military campaign against Iran may take as long as four to six weeks, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said a few moments ago, […]
Leavitt added that the US would consider Iran in a state of “unconditional surrender” once Donald Trump determines the country no longer “poses a threat” to the United States.
She told reporters at the White House:
»What the president means is that when he, as Commander in Chief of the US Armed Forces, determines that Iran no longer poses a threat to the United States of America, and the goals of Operation Epic Fury has been fully realized, then Iran will essentially be in a place of unconditional surrender, whether they say it themselves or not.«
Trump said today that only Tehran’s “unconditional surrender” will bring an end to the joint US-Israeli offensive launched seven days ago.
On timing, the US president has previously suggested the war would take approximately four to five weeks but could go “far longer” and today.
But Pete Hegseth, his defence secretary, said yesterday that the US operation would continue for “as long as it takes” to achieve its objectives in Iran. “Our timeline is ours and ours alone to control,” he said.
Back to Leavitt, speaking ahead of a meeting between Trump and major defence contractors today, she told reporters at the White House that the US has sufficient weapons stockpiles to meet all its operational needs in Iran.
