American president vows US will press on with strikes, warning of more casualties as Iran conflict widens and energy markets reel
“We projected for four to five weeks, but we have the capability to go longer than that,” Trump said, while also saying, “we’re already substantially ahead of our time projection.”
"Our objectives are clear,” said the US leader, indicating that his country aims to destroy Iran's missile capabilities, annihilate its Navy, “ensuring the world's number one sponsor of terror can never obtain a nuclear weapon,” and ensure that “the Iranian regime cannot continue to arm, fund and direct terrorist armies outside their border.”
US officials addressed the media on Monday morning, declining to say how long operations in Iran will continue.
