President Donald Trump provided his assessment of how long a potential conflict with Iran might last, telling the Daily Mail on Sunday that such military action would span roughly four weeks.
In his interview with the British publication, Trump explained his timeline estimate: “It’s always been a four-week process. We figured it will be four weeks or so. It’s always been about a four-week process so — as strong as it is, it’s a big country, it’ll take four weeks — or less.”
The president indicated he has not closed the door on diplomatic discussions with Iranian leadership, though he stopped short of providing a timeline for when such conversations might occur.
When asked about the possibility of renewed dialogue, Trump responded with uncertainty. “I don’t know,” he stated, according to the Daily Mail’s reporting. “They want to talk, but I said you should have talked last week, not this week,” Trump continued.
